Ryan Colclough's second-half penalty gave Altrincham their first win of the season as they beat 10-man Aldershot.
Tom Whelan was dismissed just before half-time and Colclough scored from the spot in the 75th minute to lift the Robins off the foot of the table.
Aldershot had a chance in the opening stages when Ollie Harfield whipped in a good cross, but Ryan Glover headed wide.
The Shots were reduced to 10 men in the 45th minute when Whelan was shown a second yellow card.
Altrincham came close moments into the second half when Elliot Osborne had a chance, but his shot went over the bar before Glover put a long-range effort wide for the visitors.
Colclough's powerful shot was well-saved by goalkeeper Luca Ashby-Hammond, and minutes later, the forward was denied again from close range.
Altrincham were awarded a penalty after a foul on Osborne and Colclough slotted the ball into the bottom-left corner from the spot.
