Dartford stretched their unbeaten run to three games with a battling draw against Grimsby in the Conference.
Elliot Bradbrook hit the woodwork before his brother Tom put the Darts in front with a cool finish when unmarked.
Dartford looked to be heading for victory, but the game turned when Nathan Collier was dismissed late on for deliberate handball.
Lenell John-Lewis converted the resulting penalty for Grimsby to equalise and lift them to 11th place.
Grimsby Town manager Paul Hurst told BBC Radio Humberside:
"We had more than enough of the game, but obviously going a goal behind it looked like it wasn't going to be our day.
"In the end, we certainly got a reward in not getting beat and realistically looked the most likely to go on and win it.
"Certainly they should have had a man sent off prior to that, the lad kicked out and it's a blatant red, card.
"It's proving to be a highly competitive league from the bottom to the top but on Tuesday night we're at home and we want to put it back right in front of our own fans."
