Mamelodi Sundowns were held to a frustrating goalless draw against Richards Bay in a Betway Premiership match at uMhlathuze Stadium on Sunday night.
The Brazilians failed to capitalise on Orlando Pirates dropping points against arch rivals Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto derby in an earlier kick-off that ended in a 1-1 draw at FNB Stadium.
The goalless draw leaves Sundowns on 58 points, one behind Pirates, although they have a game in hand. Sundowns have played 25 matches and have five remaining in what is turning out to be a tight title race.
