Derby hold a slender advantage after the first legof their play-off semi-final with Brighton.
Jesse Lingard fired past Lee Grant from inside the box to put Brighton ahead after his first attempt was blocked.
Chris Martin levelled from the spot after Matthew Upson fouled Craig Forsyth.
Derby went in front just before half-time when Martin's strike hit the crossbar and bounced in off the back of Brighton keeper Tomasz Kuszczak.
Brighton came close to an equaliser but Grant tipped Leonardo Ulloa's shot on to the bar.
It means Derby head into Sunday's second leg needing only to avoid defeat to make the Championship play-off final at Wembley on 24 May.
Steve McClaren's side had already beaten Brighton twice this season and finished third in the Championship, 13 points ahead of their opponents who squeezed into the play-offs courtesy of Ulloa's last-minute winner at Nottingham Forest on the final day of the season.
Despite Derby's tag as favourites heading into the game it was the Seagulls who struck first after a lively start at the Amex.
After having two early penalty appeals turned down, Brighton took a 19th-minute lead and it was Lingard, on loan from Manchester United, who broke the deadlock with a smart finish.
Inigo Calderon, on the right, found space after a delightful back-heel from Will Buckley and his pass to Lingard was blasted home at the second attempt.
Brighton's lead lasted just 11 minutes, with the home crowd stunned into silence after Derby levelled from the spot.
Derby, who had looked dangerous on the break throughout, broke from their own half and the ball eventually found its way to Forsyth who was scythed down by Brighton central defender Upson.
Martin coolly slotted his penalty home - sending Kuszczak the wrong way for his 21st goal of the season - but there was worse to come for the hosts on the stroke of half-time.
After chances for both sides it was McClaren's side who went into the break in front with Martin's strike from the edge of the box striking the crossbar and hitting the back of Kuszczak before bouncing in.
It was a cruel goal to concede and harsh on Brighton who searched in vain for an equaliser.
Derby continued to look dangerous on the break after half-time but it was Brighton who came closest to scoring next.
A ball into the box eventually found itself to Ulloa who managed to get off a shot in the box but Grant superbly tipped the effort onto the bar.
Brighton dominated the closing stages and twice came close to levelling.
First Lingard saw his effort from the edge of the box saved by Grant who followed that up with another fingertip save from Stephen Ward who unleashed a fierce 20-yard drive.
Brighton pressed for an equaliser but it never came and Oscar Garcia's side will now have to beat Derby for the first time this season if they are to have any chance of advancing to Wembley to set up a fixture against either QPR or Wigan who play on Friday.
Brighton head coach Oscar Garcia:
"It was a totally unfair result. We were better than them in all areas. I am really proud of our performance.
"If the ref had given us an early penalty it would have been a better start. And in the second half we should have had a penalty but we need to improve in front of goal.
"We knew they had a good counter-attack but it is difficult to play against the third-best team in the league, and they are a very good side.
"I am really happy with the performance and we did everything but score. We have to believe because we have to go there and get a result. If we don't we will still come away with our heads held high."
Derby manager Steve McClaren:
"It had everything. You saw every side of Derby County tonight. They started well but we showed great character, got ahead and could have scored a couple more.
"We allowed them to put too much pressure on us in the second half and we are indebted to our defending and our goalkeeper. You've got to be hard to beat and we were in the second half.
"We can be better and we need to be better because this Brighton side can beat us away from home. The tie is still open and there is a long way to go. The next goal will be crucial."

Wigan 0-0 QPR


A solid defensive showing from QPR helped hold Wigan to a 0-0 draw in the Championship play-off semi-final first leg.

The clash between two teams relegated from the Premier League 12 months ago featured very little in the way of goalmouth action, with Wigan's Marc-Antoine Fortune spurning the best chance in the second half.

Harry Redknapp's Rangers will be the happier with the result and will hope to take advantage in their home leg on Monday.

Wigan were playing their 61st game of the season after European and FA Cup exploits and looking to secure a fifth trip to Wembley in little over a year against either Derby or Brighton.

The play-offs do not hold happy memories for either club or manager, with Wigan unsuccessful in all three previous attempts while Uwe Rosler lost the League One final last season with Brentford.

The Latics also claimed only one point from a possible six in two games against QPR during the regular season - Yossi Benayoun's winner at Loftus Road in March being the only goal in either match.

Rosler declared in the build-up he would not become involved in "pressure bingo" after Redknapp and Derby's Steve McClaren both tried to foist favouritism on others.

But Rosler was eager to point out Rangers' large wage bill, which he described as three times larger than his club's.

It was no surprise that the first half was tight and tetchy, with more yellow cards than sights of goal.

Wigan defender Gary Caldwell spurned an early chance, placing a free header from a corner tamely into the arms of Robert Green.

QPR's first opening came in the 14th minute when Gary O'Neil found space for a shot just inside the box but James McArthur produced an excellent block.

The tackles were robust and when Richard Dunne was booked for felling Callum McManaman in the 23rd minute the only surprise was that referee Mike Jones had kept his cards in his pocket for as long as he had.

A minute later McManaman and McArthur were both booked for fouls within seconds of each other.

The luckiest man on the pitch may well have been Clint Hill, though, who appeared to elbow Rob Kiernan in an incident early in the game that neither referee nor crowd spotted.

Wigan were the team doing most of the pressing but QPR did occasionally threaten on the break, with Armand Traore heading Junior Hoilett's cross over in the 37th minute.

Caldwell was looking to create openings with long balls and he did just that five minutes later, picking out Wigan's player of the year Jordi Gomez, who chested the ball beyond a defender but fired a volley straight at Green.

Rangers came out fired up for the second half and goalkeeper Scott Carson was twice called into action, first punching away a Hill cross under pressure from Charlie Austin and then keeping out a low Traore shot with his fingertips.

But Wigan weathered the storm and really should have scored in the 62nd minute.

The ball ricocheted around the penalty area before Kiernan's drilled ball fell perfectly for Fortune, who could only blaze over an open goal from eight yards.

Both sides made changes, with Kevin Doyle and Niko Kranjcar coming on for QPR and Nicky Maynard and Martyn Waghorn for Wigan, but neither team could make the breakthrough.
