Altrincham suffered their third consecutive National League defeat as Toby Edser and Chike Kandi led Aldershot to a 2-1 victory.
Edser produced his opening goal in the 13th minute from a deflected free-kick that eventually found the bottom right corner.
Kandi looked to have sealed the victory for the visitors in the 79th minute, striking a low ball into the bottom corner and past Tony Thompson.
Tom Peers then clawed a goal back for the hosts, striking on the cusp of full -time to reduce the deficit when the game was already lost.
