Huddersfield maintained their unbeaten start to the season after being held to a 0-0 draw at 10-man Mansfield.
The game changed in the promotion-chaser’s favour when Owen Dodgson was sent off less than two minutes after coming on as a half-time substitute.
However, the Terriers were unable to create any clear-cut chances and find a way past Mansfield’s resolute defence.
Michael Smith failed to get on the end of Nathan Moriah-Welsh’s cross during a cagey opening 10 minutes.
Bojan Radaluvic hit the side-netting midway through the half after Derensili Sanches Fernandes slipped him in.
Stephen McLaughlin skied over from distance before Liam Roberts saved comfortably from Joe Taylor just before half-time.
Mansfield were reduced to 10 men when Dodgson was shown a straight red for a late lunging tackle on Sanches Fernandes seconds after the restart.
Ashley Fletcher should have headed Huddersfield in front after finding space in the 63rd minute.
Roberts palmed away a close-range Harness shot before Ilias Bronkhorst and Cameron Humphreys both went close as Huddersfield continued to push late on.
