Last-gasp equaliser denies Stones upset
MAIDSTONE
was offside and moments later, United almost doubled their lead.
Loza worked his way into the box and forced a good save from Lillis as space opened up for the shot.
The brilliant Loza ran from the edge of his own box to the Rochdale byline to set up an early second-half opportunity for Taylor, whose shot went out for a corner as Maidstone turned defence into attack in a flash.
The very presence of Loza was then enough to force a mistake in midfield by Camps, the Stones striker freeing Taylor for a cross which was dragged wide by Enver-Marum when well placed.
Davies sent a simple header over from Andy Cannon’s cross as Rochdale threatened around the hour mark, while Lee Worgan was out sharply to take the ball off the toe of Nathaniel MendezLaing.
Flisher was finding his energy from somewhere and after breaking into the box and holding off Harrison McGahey, he fired over the top.
With time starting to run out for Rochdale, Davies hit the sidenetting from a Mendez-Laing pass.
Taylor went close to a stunning second with three minutes left, a terrific strike inches over after Stones broke through Paxman and substitute Yemi Odubade down the right.
Four minutes of added time were just about up when Camps’ low free-kick beat the wall and Worgan. Maidstone: Worgan, Twumasi, Mills, Acheampong, Lokko, Rogers, Taylor, Paxman, Loza ( Sweeney 82mins), Enver- Marum ( Odubade 85mins), Flisher. Subs not used: Coyle, Evans, Bridle- Card, Murphy, Greenhalgh. Attendance: 2,227 (172 from Rochdale).
