Gateshead have been deducted one point by the National League for fielding an ineligible player.
The deduction sees the Heed slip back into the fifth-tier relegation zone.
The National League said in a statement that the player had featured in a game despite being suspended, and also fined the club £750.
In a statement Gateshead said "substantial" mitigation had been put to the league in their defence, but they have accepted the decision.
They also said the breach was made because of an "administrative error".
Meanwhile, National League South side Welling have also been deducted one point after failing to ensure a player had international clearance.
The Wings remain in 15th in the sixth tier.
