Chris Sedgwick grabbed a late equaliser to rob Euro adventurers Millwall of a winning rehearsal for Thursday's trip to Ferencvaros.
Paul Ifill snapped up his second goal of the season when he produced a cool shot from ten yards 13 minutes from the end after Neil Harris nodded down a high ball to give Millwall the lead.

And in a furious finish Rotherham came close to their first league win, but Chris Swailes got the ball trapped under his feet six yards out.
At the other end only a tremendous Mike Pollitt fingertip save denied Millwall player-manager Dennis Wise the winner when he smashed in a shot from 25 yards.
Until the grandstand finish it was grim stuff as Wise and co tried to find a way past Ronnie Moore's dogged side, who were left still searching for their first league win.
Rotherham were pinning their hopes on 24-year-old former Celtic striker Mark Burchill, brought in on a month's loan from Portsmouth.
Burchill was close to a debut goal after he cut in from the right following Paul Warne's accurate pass, but Graham Stack matched the low angled shot with a diving save.
Wise was the creator when Millwall produced a glorious chance for a first-half lead. The ex-England man drilled a free-kick across the area for Harris, but the striker's sidefoot volley was high.
And Harris came close again a minute before half-time when Danny Dichio's pinpoint pass picked him out, but as Harris closed in on goal Pollitt produced an impressive save.
Rotherham should have been in front in the first minute of the second half after Millwall were caught cold.
Paolo Vernazza's ball down the right found Burchill who closed in on goal, but Stack turned away his low shot. It broke to Warne but his hasty shot curled wide of the post.
Then came a goal for each side in the hectic final minutes.
