Maidstone crashed out of the FA Trophy after a second-half collapse against Boreham Wood.

They bossed the first half of Tuesday night’s first-round replay, led through Ben Greenhalgh and should have been two or three up.

But Wood turned the tables in the second half, scoring twice in nine minutes before adding a third as United fell apart.

Jamar Loza pulled a goal back in the third minute of injury time but it proved the last kick.

The first half was excellent, with Greenhalgh determined to make the most of a rare start, Loza impressing from the left and Jack Evans getting forward from midfield, testing Grant Smith with a couple of thumping strikes.

Evans’ first effort came from 25 yards after Loza and Greenhalgh combined and it was Greenhalgh who teed up another shot towards the end of the half, a first-time rocket bringing out the best in Smith.

Boreham Wood offered little and it was no surprise when Maidstone took the lead.

The goal came on 20 minutes with Callum Driver feeding Loza whose lay-off was crashed into the bottom corner by Greenhalgh from 20 yards.

Bobby-Joe Taylor missed a big chance to double Stones’ lead, nodding wide from a couple of yards when all on his own, then he dragged an effort wide after a short corner with Greenhalgh.

Boreham Wood levelled two minutes into the second half, Lee Worgan touching Bruno Andrade’s swerving drive on to the post, with Anthony Jeffrey nodding home the loose ball.

Andrade was at it again a couple of minutes later, Worgan holding on after the ball broke dangerously from Femi Ilesanmi’s cross.

And having barely been in the game in the first half, Andrade then ran on to a through ball and beat Worgan to put Wood in front on 56 minutes.

It was all Boreham Wood now with Jeffrey firing over and Worgan down well after Matthew Paine met Andrade’s free-kick.

A third followed on 79 minutes, Driver unable to rescue a breakdown in communication at the back as Jeffrey burst through and thumped home.

It might have been worse minutes later, Worgan doing well to push Ricky Shakes’ downward header over the top.

Loza finished smartly at the death but the whistle went straight from the restart.
