DAN HOLMAN struck a superb goal six minutes from time as Braintree stretched their unbeaten run to five games.
The Iron had fallen behind to Jayden Stockley's strike for Woking, but Holman came up with the leveller to take the home side to within two points of manager Alan Devonshire's 50-point safety target.
Holman was a constant threat for the home side, and he was twice denied by goalkeeper Seb Brown.
But the home side were stunned when Stockley fired home against the run of play.
Braintree continued to press and showed great character to finally pull level with 84 minutes on the clock, Holman blasting into the top corner from distance to secure a point.
It followed another eye-catching win for Alan Devonshire's men on Saturday as they came back from Stockport with all three points.
The 3,250 crowd at Edgeley Park was the third-biggest Braintree have played in front of this season, but they were not intimidated and Holman opened the scoring before skipper Kenny Davis added a brace.
Stockport did pull one back late on, but Braintree were well worth the win.
Devonshire said: "We had at least two decent first half chances and we were well in command while their keeper had kept them in the game but I said to the players at half-time to keep their concentration and work rate and the goals would come.
"It's always a worry when you're still level after running the show because you can suddenly get caught with a sucker punch when the opposition score.
"But we kept our composure and killed off the game in that 15 minute spell.
"I'm just disappointed with the last ten minutes when they scored a consolation goal because we began to look tired not having played for two weeks - but I can't criticise the lads for their performance."
Braintree had the best of the first half and Holman, James Mulley, Sean Marks and Alan Massey all had good chances in the opening period.
And they carried on where they left off and took the lead in the 47th minute when Luke Daley slipped the ball through to Holman who drove the ball into the net past the stranded Richard O'Donnell.
Five minutes later Iron added a second with an exquisite chip shot from outside the area by skipper Davis which beat O'Donnell and on the hour home substitute Lee Bullock hauled down Iron defender Dean Wells in the area, leaving Davis to slot home the penalty spot. In the final minutes, tiredness did creep into some of the Iron players and the home side grabbed a consolation goal on 83 minutes through an Alex Kenyon header.
Braintree have three home games this week, starting tonight (Thursday) against Nuneaton, then Alfreton visit on Saturday before Lincoln City on Tuesday.
