Braintree equalised late to draw 1-1 at play-off hopefuls Scunthorpe.
The Iron took the lead in the 15th minute when defender Jean Belehouan headed in after a flick-on from a corner.
Braintree soon had a chance to get level when Terrell Works was tripped in the penalty area, but Sahid Kamara saw his spot-kick saved by Rory Mahady.
The visitors, though, did finally get themselves an equaliser with three minutes remaining when substitute Tom Blackwell capitalised on a defensive mix-up to slot into an empty net.
