The second half deadlock was broken in the 62nd minute, with Force lock Jeremy Thrush driving over the line to bring the scores to 12-22.
A vocal Force crowd rose to their feet as the momentum swung their way, Bo Abra crossing over for his first ever Super Rugby try to set up a dramatic final five minutes.
