Highlights: Maidstone United 1-0 Torquay United

Dan Wishart's first-half goal proved enough to hand Maidstone a surprise win over Torquay as the National League South side made it into the second round of the FA Cup.

National League Torquay fell at this stage of the competition last season to Woking and will be disappointed they did not take their chances on the road.

The home side broke through after just 18 minutes.

Defender Wishart's low driven ball was deflected, deceiving Gulls goalkeeper Lucas Covolan Cavagnari and entering the far corner of the goal.

Seven minutes later, a tackle on Torquay left-back Liam Davies left him taken away on a stretcher.

After 34 minutes, it looked like Maidstone might be given a penalty after Wishart went down but referee Joe Hull pointed the other way.

Gambian Saidou Khan had a chance to extend Maidstone's lead 10 minutes from time, but his shot was just wide of the upright.

Both sides failed to do enough with their second-half pressure in the rain, and ultimately time fell away in favour of the home team.
