Both Sekhukhune United and TS Galaxy could not return to winning ways after a goalless draw in the DStv Premiership clash on Friday evening.
Sekhukhune made two changes following their defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns, as they were boosted by the return of Kamohelo Mokotjo and Chibuike Ohizu.
Galaxy, similarly, had two alterations after they also lost the Brazilians in their last game, as Lehlohonolo Mojela and Thato Khiba were recalled.
Babina Noko started brightly, as Jamie Webber and Elias Mokwana threatened early on, with strikes that missed narrowly wide.
However, it seemed like Lehlohonolo Seema was not happy with the application in the last third as ten minutes before the break he withdrew Webber, who threw a tantrum after he was taken off and walked straight down the tunnel for the change room and was replaced by former Kaizer Chiefs striker Keletso Sifama.
The game continued to open up towards the end of the first stanza and Mojela had a big chance just before the interval after going through on goal but he was denied by the woodwork and the sides went to the break deadlocked.
Galaxy were forceful from the break but they were not creating chances and just before the hour-mark, Sead Ramovic made a double attacking change, as Samir Nurkovic and Lindokuhle Mbatha both replaced Kamogelo Sebelebele and Puso Dithejane.
However, Babina Noko gained momentum in the closing stages, as they kept the Rockets deep in their own half but they were not threatening the goal of goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari.
With the pace of the game slowing down, chances were hard to come by, as the sides shared the spoils, with the point moving Galaxy up to fifth on the table, a place and two points behind Sekhukhune.
