Ebbsfleet 0-1 Histon

Daniel Wright's second-half winner earned Histon their first league win this year and kept alive their outside hopes of a play-off place.

But the visitors had to wait until the 72nd minute before Michael Frew jinked his way through the Fleet defence and crossed for Wright to side-foot home.

Andrew Tidswell was denied a second goal when his right-foot drive come back off the bar in the final minute.

The win leaves Histon 13 points behind the Blue Square Premier play-off pack.

Ebbsfleet boss Liam Daish told BBC Radio Kent:

"We said it's going to be one of those games where concentration makes the difference. We had plenty of play and plenty of chances.

"The only thing missing was a goal. But we move on and mustn't let the disappointment last too long."
