Altrincham moved up to fourth in the Vanarama National League after a 2-0 win at Ebbsfleet.
Promotion-chasing Altrincham did the damage in the first half with Alex Newby scoring in the 35th minute before Regan Linney added another from the penalty spot four minutes later.
It helped Altrincham leapfrog Solihull Moors, who lost 3-0 at play-off rivals Bromley.
The deadlock was broken when a shot by Mitch Hancox deflected into the path of Newby, who fired in from close-range.
It was 2-0 with 39 minutes on the clock when Altrincham won a spot-kick, which Linney dispatched to put the visitors in control.
Ebbsfleet pushed for a way back into the contest but away goalkeeper Ethan Ross produced a string of excellent saves to preserve a clean sheet and earn his team all three points.
It means the relegation worries of 20th-placed Fleet are not over going into the final week of the campaign.
