Match Report: AFC Fylde 2-0 Ebbsfleet United

AFC Fylde put two past Ebbsfleet United at Mill Farm with goals from Charlie Jolley and Jon Ustabasi seeing the Coasters take all three points on home soil.

Both finishes came during the second half as Fylde claimed a much needed win over fellow strugglers Ebbsfleet.

Nick Haughton almost got the Coasters off to a perfect start with a mazy run before the midfielder struck towards goal with his deflected effort crashing against the bar.

Josh Wright then missed a golden opportunity to open the scoring midway through the first half, blazing over from point blank range.

Tyler Cordner then went close with a set-piece, however the shot was scooped up by Winterbottom.

The Second half began with controversy as Charlie Jolley was brought down bearing down on goal and as the forward looked to creep into the Fleet penalty area, a free kick was awarded just outside.

Haughton took the resulting free kick which forced a good save from Berry but the deadlock remained unbroken.

With ten minutes gone in the second half, Fylde finally found the breakthrough. After good work from the midfield, the ball was played into Charlie Jolley who turned expertly before picking out the top corner to send Fylde ahead.

Soon after, Jolley almost had his second after an excellent cross from Bardell picked him out perfectly and his header crashed against the bar.

With moments left to go, Ustabasi doubled the Coasters’ lead with a clinical left-footed strike into the bottom corner which sealed the win for the Coasters.
