They led 2-0 and looked like extending their unbeaten run to three games. However, just six minutes into the second half, Chichester were level before they grabbed the winner with four minutes left.

Shaheen Sadough gave Mussels a fourth-minute lead before he doubled their advantage on 38 minutes from Ash Dorrington's cross. Shoreham could have been three-up at half-time but a Sadough shot was saved, with two well-placed team-mates waiting for a pass.
