Stacy Long's 30-yard strike earned Ebbsfleet a point in an entertaining encounter at Farsley. The home side took the lead in the 12th minute when Gareth Grant was brought down in the box, with triker Stephen Downes converting the penalty.
But midfielder Long hit back in the 23rd minute, collecting Sasha Opinel's pass before hitting his unstoppable right-foot shot into the top corner.
Despite late second-half changes neither team could find a winner.
