The classic way to feed a EFHW is to use a tuned tank circuit. The top of it goes to the antenna and the bottom goes to a short counterpoise or the coax shield. You can either tap the coil X turns from the bottom to match 50 ohms or use a link coupling with the appropriate number of turns.
I use such a system to match a tri-band EFHW on 20, 30, and 40. Yes, each an electrical half wave using tapped loading coils. The link is 6 turns, tapped every turn.
