Shane McLoughlin's stoppage-time penalty rescued a point for Newport as they drew 2-2 with AFC Wimbledon at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
The Dons were in front in the 12th minute when Alistair Smith fired the ball past Nick Townsend after getting on the end of John-Joe O'Toole's knockdown.
Kyle Hudlin should have equalised moments later when he dribbled around Dons goalkeeper Owen Goodman but his effort drifted wide of the right-hand post.
