Nahki Wells came on as a 67th minute substitute, but he could not prevent Huddersfield from falling to their first Sky Bet Championship defeat of the Season to Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club.
Despite the result Huddersfield will still be the league leaders heading into the weekend.
Wells and his teammates were undone by a Anthony Knockaert left footed shot from the right side of the box to the bottom right corner in the 80th minute.
Huddersfield coach Wagner named an unchanged side from the one that recorded the West Yorkshire derby win at Elland Road three days earlier, but with a slightly different tactical setup.
The goal came with an uncharacteristic effort from goalkeeper Danny Ward giving the hosts a late winner, Knockaert was a constant threat, but the Frenchman squeezed a shot through Ward in the 80th minute to give his side all three points.
