Sierra Leone held Group G leader South Africa to a 0-0 draw in their African Cup of Nations qualifying match on Sunday.
Without injured midfield star Steven Pienaar, South Africa failed to break through against the Leone Stars - who beat Bafana Bafana in the teams' last meeting in Freetown two years ago.
The draw sees South Africa maintain top spot in Group G with four points, one point ahead of Niger which shocked African champion Egypt 1-0 earlier Sunday.
Sierra Leone is third with two points from two draws, while Egypt slumps to last place in the group after a draw and a loss in its opening two qualifying matches for the 2012 African Cup in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
