Guernsey FC missed out on the chance to pull further away from the Isthmian League South Central relegation zone as they lost 1-0 at Leatherhead.
Ben Solway helped keep the scores goalless at half-time as he cleared a home effort off the line, while Leatherhead also had a 32nd-minute goal ruled out for offside.
Charlton Gauvain and Brandon Wallace went on to have good chances for the islanders but failed to convert.
The hosts had Alex Pearce sent off after an hour, but went ahead 13 minutes later when Kane Fitzgerald converted a penalty.
The loss leaves Guernsey above the drop zone on goal difference, although they have two games in hand on South Park, who occupy the final relegation place.
The Green Lions have played three fewer matches than Metropolitan Police, who are one place and three points above them.
Guernsey's next fixture is a trip to play-off chasing Hayes and Yeading United on Saturday.
