Stellenbosch look to have run out of luck in the front of goal and are running out of time to secure their PSL status, following a goalless draw with Orlando Pirates on Tuesday.
It was the same old story for coach Steve Barker, as he watched his side waste a vrag chances to end their winless run, which now stands at nine games.

The result leaves Stellies in 12th, two points above the relegation playoff spot, where 15th-placed Chippa have a game in hand on their rivals.
The Danie Craven Stadium hosts were unlucky to miss out on a penalty on 32 minutes when Ashley du Preez raced clear through and was tackled by Abel Mabaso, with replays suggesting that Du Preez was taken out.
From the resultant corner, Jayden Adams saw his powerful strike saved by goalkeeper Wayne Sandilands.
With Stellies on top, Du Preez was guilty of the moemish of the season when he missed an open goal from six yards out after being set up by Stanley Dimgba, as they missed out on victory. But the point could still prove important.
