If not a 'must win', at least a 'damn well better win if you're serious about getting in the playoffs' game for both squads.
The first half was fairly uneventful with the exception of Ross Jenkins leaving the pitch due to injury.
Both gaffers apparently reminded their players that three points were needed with seven teams fighting for the last playoff spot. To add to the suspense, the BBC lost the signal for the first five minutes or so of the second half.
The sparks began to fly when Luciano Becchio headed in a goal in minute 72. Lee Hodson of all people equalized six minutes later to quiet the crowd.
Then with four minutes of regulation time left, Andreas Weimann tapped in a selfless Danny Graham dribbler for what looked to be the nail in Leeds' coffin.
But no.
With Graham down with an injury, a Barry Bannon corner a scant minute later ended in a Troy Deeney own goal and both squads walked away disappointed.
Watford has failed to beat the teams ahead of them in this home stretch. Maybe they'll have better luck with Barnsley next Saturday, April 23 at Vicarage Road. Kickoff is 9:00 an St. Louis time.
