Tom Nichols' late winner was enough for Exeter to beat Chesterfield.
Exeter took the lead when Billy Jones' corner was flicked on by Rowan Vine for Troy Archibald-Henville to volley into the ground and over Tommy Lee.
Chesterfield's Danny Whitaker equalised from the penalty spot after Danny Coles handballed inside the area.
The Grecians winner came when Nichols kept a cool head to slide the ball past Spireites goalkeeper Lee after good work by Chris Shephard.
