Schumacher admitted: “It was very tight I thought it was probably the toughest game we have had this year.”
Sub Sam Cosgrove headed a stoppage time winner after Liam Palmer’s seventh minute strike cancelled out Ryan Hardie’s third minute opener for the greens.
That doesn't tell the story of how well both keepers - Michael Cooper and Wednesday's David Stockdale - played to keep the score down in yet another thrilling top of the table win for Argyle following the equally impressive 2-1 success against Ipswich last time out at Home Park.
Visiting boss Darren Moore admitted: “We had some great opportunities but the boy Cooper in goal is having an outstanding start to the season and he pulled off some magnificent saves and he deserves man of the match tonight.”
Post-match Schumacher - whose side stay a point ahead of Ipswich - at the summit said: “We had to proper fight tonight to get any result. It was a really hard game.
“I thought Wednesday played really well. They surprised us with how they lined up and then they changed shape three times during the game.
“It caused us all sorts of problems when they did.
“We know about the individual players that they have got but tactically that what a really hard game to get through.
“Thankfully our players kept their heads and haven’t panicked when they (Wednesday) were having spells and we managed to get ourselves into the game with good spells of pressure.
“I am kind of glad it’s all over and just delighted that we have got three points.
“I would normally love tactical battles, those type of game but tonight it just felt there was a lot at stake because both teams are at the top of the division.
“Two real strong sides both going for it. I couldn’t say I "enjoyed" the game because of the nerves involved but I really enjoyed how our players kept going and then the Devonport End sucking that one in at the end.
“All credit to the players they just kept going, kept believing, kept trying to do the right things. They kept the energy up for the last 20 minutes, which we spoke about before the game, because then we might have a chance.
“It was unbelievable the way it ended.
“We should have had a goal maybe? The one that was over the line. Possibly could have had a penalty?
“But the big man slots one away and all was forgotten...”
