Jordan Archer came off the bench to rescue a point for Southport and extend their unbeaten run in the National League North to ten games.
The Port had been trailing to Yusifu Ceesay’s debut goal as Nuneaton Borough belied their position at the foot of the table to lead.
But just when it looked like the visitors may hold on for a win, Archer ensured a share of the points, stabbing home the rebound after goalkeeper Cam Belford had saved Dean Winnard’s header from a Marcus Wood cross.
In a game short on chances, Southport struggled to get behind a disciplined Nuneaton back-line, their closest chance coming when Belford turned a Brad Bauress shot onto a post after a cross from Dion Charles.
Carl Baker, in the visiting team back at Southport after 12 years, had a dipping shot saved by goalkeeper Dan Hanford.
The visitors went ahead eight minutes into the second half, Ceesay firing in a low, angled finish after a long ball from goalkeeper Belford was flicked on by Devon Kelly-Evans.
Belford also saved from Jason Gilchrist and a shot from Jack Sampson was blocked on the goal-line by Rhys Sharpe before Archer saved a point for the home team in stoppage time.
