Drove up to the Ray Mac with Pete and Andy in a more confident mood than my last visit, due to Salisbury being on a eight match unbeaten streak including a win at league leaders Burton Albion.
Salisbury started well and Sean Clohessy had a good chance to score in the first minute but pulled his shot wide. 3 minutes later and he made amends. The ball broke to him unmarked in the centre of the pitch towards the edge of the penalty area. He took it towards the keeper and calmly volleyed it past him into the top left corner.
The rest of the game didn’t offer much in the way of entertainment. Salisbury had a goal disallowed just before half time for offside. Ebbsfleet were very compact and didn’t play with much confidence, perhaps a hangover from their defeat in the FA Trophy semifinal at the weekend. Their best chance was a shot from a corner that came back off the post in the second half.
The introduction of Jonathan Davies late on in the game brought Salisbury back to life again as he took on the Ebbsfleet defence on a number of occasions. His best opportunity to increase the lead was on 90 minutes but the curved shot was just wide of the near post.
