Danny Kedwell put the Fleet ahead from the spot on 20 minutes, before Bobby-Jon Taylor levelled after the interval. Kedwell looked to have won it for the home side with a second penalty of the game in injury time, but Dumebi Dumaka’s last gasp effort ensured the lottery of spot kicks.

Alex Fisher, Jack Paxman, Taylor and Dan Sweeney were all successful for Maidstone, while Kedwell, who had already scored twice from the spot saw his crucial effort saved by Lee Wogan to send Maidstone into the fifth tier.
