Stellenbosch FC squandered the chance to climb into the Betway Premiership’s top eight after being held to a 0-0 draw by Siwelele on Tuesday night.
The Bloemfontein outfit made the brighter start, with Vincent Pule and Christian Saile both going close inside the opening 15 minutes. Goalkeeper Sage Stephens produced vital saves to keep Stellenbosch level.
At the other end, Langelihle Phili and Ibraheem Jabaar threatened on the counter, while Asekho Tiwani forced a fine stop from Ricardo Goss with a powerful long-range effort late in the first half.

Gavin Hunt’s men improved after the interval. Devin Titus picked out Enyinnaya Godswill just before the hour mark, but Goss denied the forward. Henric Stanic also missed a late header from a corner.
Despite late substitutions from both benches, neither side could find a breakthrough, leaving both teams short of ground in the race for the top eight.
