Mohamed Bouidaf grabbed Longford Town's first points of the season in a hard fought draw in Waterford.
Just seven minutes were on the clock when Waterford took the lead. Darragh Lynch deflecting the ball into his own net.
Waterford edged the remainder of the first-half, Jack Brady keeping it to one-nil with a double save on 35 minutes.
Town equalised after 12 second-half minutes Boudiaf's diving header finding the net from Josh Girugi's cross.
Town nearly snatched it in the final, Francis Campbell's volley ended up just over the bar as Longford collected their opening points of the season.
