The next few minutes saw Huw Jones and Nic White trade tries as Glasgow maintained their four point lead which they increased to seven points by the 23rd minute with Hastings penalty goal. Their momentum took a beating with Callum Gibbins' yellow card in the 25th minute.

Exeter made full use of the numerical advantage with back to back tries from Matt Kvesic and Jacques Vermeulen in the 29th and 36th minutes respectively but George Horne's try at the stroke of half-time ensured the teams headed into the break with a 24-24 scoreline.

Glasgow suffered a setback with Fraser Brown sin-binned in the 53rd minute and Kvesic's second try in the 55th minute provided Exeter with the advantage, only for Matawalu to ensure the game ended with both the teams sharing the points equally.
