Ricky Korboa struck in second half stoppage time to condemn the Reds to a 1-0 defeat in Kent on Saturday.
It leaves Worthing without a league win away from home since their 3-0 success at Sussex rivals Eastbourne Borough on Boxing Day – a run of seven games.
Defeat leaves the third-placed Reds six points behind top-of-the-table Dorking Wanderers, who have a game in hand.
The Rebels entertain Maidenhead United, in fifth, tomorrow evening (7.45pm).
