St. George picked a point away to the defending CAF Champions League champions Mamelodi Sundowns in a barren draw at Lucas Moripe Stadium, Pretoria on Saturday.
The draw leaves them joint second in group C standings behind Esperance du Tunis, who beat AS Vita of DR Congo 3-1 on Friday.
The “Brazilians” as Sundowns are famously known struggled in front of goal despite creating countless glaring chances in front of goal.
Birthday boy Percy Tau and diminutive Zimbabwean forward Khama Billiat will pinch themselves for being the biggest culprits.
St. George will have their Ugandan goalkeeper Robert Odongkara to thank for working extra hard to earn them the point.
The “Horsemen” missed the services of their talisman Salhadin Said who was suspended for the match.
In his absence, ineffective Adane Girma was handed the lead role in attack.
Prodigy Abubaker Sani later substituted him with little effect.
The coach Mart Noolj’s side largely sat back for the better part of the match waiting to hit on the country, a strategy which proved less effective.
Sundowns will travel to the DRC to meet wounded AS Vita in their next outing, while St. George will host Esperance in Addis Ababa.
