The Owls battled back to claim a result form behind and had some bright performances throughout, going toe-to-toe with the in-form promotion battlers. Pierce Charles made a classy save in the final moments to keep the tie alive, new signing Ike Ugbo caught the eye in glimpses and Barry Bannan produced an influential performance from midfield.
But it was a twisting, turning Gassama that took the star man gong for Wednesday on a night he proved to be the hero. Here are our player ratings from Hillsborough.
1. Pierce Charles - 8
Showed some quality with the ball at his feet, shaking off early nerves. Confident in his decision-making and made an exceptional save late on to save the tie. Beaten by a naughty wibbly-wobbler from Torp.
2. Pol Valentin - 6
Wednesday's 'Captain of Chaos' was strangely calm out there on the right. Good thing? Bad thing? We're not entirely sure.
3. Di’Shon Bernard - 7
Once again showed his strength in key moments. Put his foot in to make a number of tackles and looked generally at ease.
4. Akin Famewo - 7
Robust. Looked really comfortable in what was only his second start since Boxing Day. Swept up a couple of moments of promise for Coventry.
