A last-ditch strike from Kevin Thornton was enough to steal the points at the KC Stadium as Coventry City beat Hull.
In a game where both sides struggled to break the deadlock, the Irish midfielder - on as a substitute - netted in the 85th to hand the Sky Blues their first away win of the campaign.
Coventry made three changes to the side which lost 3-1 to Hereford in midweek, with Kevin Kyle making his debut for Micky Adams' men after signing for the Sky Blues on Friday.
The big target man started alongside Stern John up front at the KC Stadium against Hull City, as Coventry went looking for their second win of the season.
Robert Page also started his first game of the campaign after recovering from a back problem and was one of three centre-backs in the team, along with Matt Heath and Elliott Ward, with Adams fielding a 3-5-2 formation.
It meant that Chris Birchall started the game at right-wing-back, with Marcus Hall on the left-hand-side. Michael Doyle returned in the middle of the park alongside Colin Cameron and Stephen Hughes.
Dele Adebola and Andy Whing had to be content with a place on the bench, while Frankie El-Idrissi dropped out of the 16.
Hull created the first opportunity when on three minutes, Andy Dawson's shot deflected off Birchall and flew inches wide of the left upright.
It was a game where both sides struggled to create any clear goalscoring chances, with the next arriving on 39 minutes, when Ryan France forced a good save from Marshall at the near post, only for Parkin to hit the follow up off the keeper and wide.
But in Coventry City's first chance of the game, John hit his shot at the keeper before at the other end, Dean Marney saw his rising shot fly over the crossbar.
The second half started with as few chances as the previous 45 minutes, though Cameron fired a shot over the free kick over the crossbar on 57 minutes.
It was to be the last action of the game for the Scot, who was replaced by Adebola on the hour. Kevin Thornton also came on as a replacement for John.
Hull also made a double substitution six minutes later when Nick Barmby and Ben Burgess replaced Parkin and Duffy.
New signing Kyle had his first chance of the game in the 69th minute, when he chested it down and smacked it towards goal from 25 yards, forcing Boaz Myhill to turn the effort around the post.
Marney also tried his luck from distance, but Marshall was equal to the shot and parried it away.
But it was Thornton who had the last laugh - the youngster beating Sam Collins and producing an excellent finish across the keeper and into the bottom corner in the 85th minute.
