Paul Wotton felt his Torquay United side deserved to take all three points in their 1-1 draw with Maidstone United.
The Gulls, who were reduced to nine men in the final minutes of the game, fell behind midway through the first half after an excellent long-range Riley Court free-kick.
But they were level in the 29th minute when Dylan Morgan fired in low from inside the box.
The point saw the Gulls slip to fourth place in the National League South, three points off leaders Worthing.
“I’m disappointed we didn’t get three points. I think we deserved to win the game,” Wotton told BBC Radio Devon.
“I thought first half we were excellent, very, very good. I think their goal comes against a run of play massively – a wonder-strike from the lad, which seems to be a common theme, which is frustrating.
“Second half, I’m not sure we crossed the ball enough and I’m not sure we made their keeper make enough saves – but we had plenty of opportunities, with a little bit more quality in that final third, to have made something happen and to score.
“Obviously, the game becomes a farce at the end so it’s a frustrating afternoon, but the boys worked their socks off and kept going right to the end.”
