Henry Shefflin watched his side blitz Wexford early before having to settle for a point as super sub Lee Chin reeled in Galway in a thrilling finale to this Leinster SHC curtain-raiser.
Galway dominated the first half at Chadwicks Wexford Park in front of a 10,200 attendance.
But ultimately the visitors paid a costly price for their profligacy as Conor McDonald's 63rd minute goal put Wexford within striking distance and Chin, a 48th minute replacement, fired over the equalising point with the last act of the game - his fourth in the five minutes of injury time played and fifth overall.
