Norwich City and Wigan Athletic kicked off the second round of EFL Championship fixtures by playing to a 1-1 draw at Carrow Road.
Playing their first home match since relegation from the Premier League, the Canaries fell behind in the 29th minute after a defensive error by Ben Gibson gave James McClean the opportunity to put the Latics in front.
Just after the hour mark, Max Aarons leveled for the hosts after being set up by a combination of Teemu Pukki and Milot Rashica.
The point is Norwich's first of the season while Wigan settled for a second consecutive draw following an opening-day stalemate against Preston North End last weekend.
Story of the match
Norwich manager Dean Smith handed new signing Marcelino Nunez his full debut, the Chilean playing in the midfield alongside Jacob Sorensen and Kenny McLean.
Gabriel Sara was named to the bench after a full week of training with the Canaries.
It was the hosts who had the first chance of the match inside of five minutes when a cross into the box by Dimitris Giannoulis was blocked. He volleyed the subsequent rebound high and wide.
Rashica then intercepted the ball deep in the Wigan half and played it to Puuki, but the Finn saw his shot blocked by Curtis Tilt from close range.
Two minutes later, Puuki beat his defender to the ball and a strike from a tight angle was just narrowly wide as the Canaries continued to apply the early pressure.
Aarons was the next to try his luck as at the quarter-hour mark, he found space on the edge of the box and although he beat goalkeeper Ben Amos, his shot flashed wide of the goal.
The Latics then tested Tim Krul for the first time, Norwich losing the ball in their own half and Jason Kerr found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but Krul was able to block.
Sorensen shot from distance, the ball deflected and falling to Nunez, who curled it wide of the post.
Against the run of play, the visitors went ahead on 29 minutes. Will Keane cut out Gibson's pass and, after finding a gap in the defence, fed an unmarked McLean, who slotted past Krul to make it 1-0.
Halftime: Norwich City 0-1 Wigan Athletic
Three minutes into the second half, Gibson again made an error as his clearance fell to Keane, who fed Josh Magennis, his shot easily saved by Krul.
Rashica then took advantage of a mistake by the Latics and was one-on-one with Amos, but like Kerr in the first half, he beat the 'keeper, but not the goal.
Minutes later, Tilt won the ball from Gibson and shot on target, but Krul was able to block to safety.
Giannoulis was stretchered off after a crunching tackle as he was brought down on the touchline right by the dugouts. Sam McCallum came on in his place.
Canaries pull one back
Norwich found an equaliser as Pukki found Rashica on the edge of the area and he rolled the ball into the path of Aarons, who made no mistake by sidefooting past Amos.
With 20 minutes to go, Nunez attempted to give the Canaries the lead, his audacious curling strike going the wrong side of the post.
Five minutes later, McCallum picked out Pukki in the box, but his flick was straight at Amos. He then hit the underside of the crossbar with his next attempt off of a feed from Todd Cantwell.
On 88 minutes, the hosts appealed for a penalty when Lee Naylor went right through Aarons, but referee Matt Donohue waved play on.
Aarons was taken off in the first minute of stoppage time, replaced by Sara, who was making his debut for Norwich. The Canaries saw out ten minutes of stoppage time to earn a point.
Man of the match: James McClean
He took advantage of sloppy play by Norwich and kept his composure to put Wigan in front.
