Positives to take despite misfortune
MAIDSTONE
is, one cross somehow headed wide by Jamie Coyle from a yard out with half the ground thinking it was in.
Karagiannis also showed he was up for the battle, chasing down a lost cause and winning possession before squaring for Odubade whose shot was blocked, with Loza’s follow-up deflected on to the bar.
Maidstone were one down by then, having fallen behind in the 16th minute when Reece Thompson beat Tom Mills and crossed for Kyle Wootton to head home, with only Callum Driver for company.
Driver then conceded a free-kick a few yards outside the area as Ferriby went two up on 38 minutes.
Karagiannis, standing in the wall, was penalised for handball from Stephen Brogan’s vicious strike, with the same player beating Lee Worgan from the spot.
Stones made a double change at half-time and it was one of the substitutes, Jack Paxman, who pulled a goal back on the hour.
He saw his cross blocked after working his way into the box but took a pass from Odubade and finished cleverly.
Maidstone had several good chances to level, the best falling to Paxman when sent through one-on-one by Mills – but keeper Rory Watson saved.
