The Connacht side drew 1-14 to 2-11 with Kieran McGeeney’s men, despite trailing by six points at the midway point of the second-half.
Ethan Rafferty’s goal handed Armagh a 1-5 to 0-7 lead at the break, and second-half sub Jamie Clarke helped set-up a Mark Shields goal to leave their team six in front.
Sligo kicked the next three scores and rounded off the comeback when Marren converted a last gasp spot-kick to seal a share of the spoils.

After a tight opening half, Longford moved into a five point lead in the third quarter with Robbie Smyth and Sean McCormack on target.
Larry Moran’s 66th minute goal left Denis Connerton’s outfit eight points up and, although Offaly kicked the final three scores, it was a comfortable win for Longford.
