A brilliant individual goal from Harry Chapman ensured Gateshead would make the long trip home from relegation rivals Truro celebrating a 2-1 victory in the National League.
Cutting in from the left touchline, the 28-year-old set off on a 40-yard diagonal run which ended with him curling a shot inside the far post from the edge of the penalty area early in the second half.
Chapman had earlier put his side, who ended a 16-match losing streak with victory over Halifax in midweek, ahead in the 19th minute with his first goal since October, poking a shot past goalkeeper Aidan Stone.
Tyler Harvey's scruffy finish, converting Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain's deep cross inside the six-yard area, drew the hosts level eight minutes later.
However, Chapman's goal of the season contender sent Gateshead on the 450-mile journey home happy and saw Truro replace them at the bottom of the table.
