Florent Hoti’s second-half goal gave Halifax a 1-0 win in their Vanarama National League match at Maidenhead.
The Magpies made a bright start, with an early effort from Nathan Ferguson coming back off the post before Tristan Abrahams saw his long-range lob drop just over.
Jayden Mitchell-Lawson worked his way into the Halifax penalty area but goalkeeper Sam Johnson got down to save at his feet.
Halifax – looking to extended a four-match unbeaten run – broke the deadlock with 20 minutes left through Hoti before Maidenhead forward Shawn McCoulsky almost grabbed an equaliser when his long-range effort glanced the post.
