South Africa's women's team were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Botswana in their second-round 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games qualifier first-leg encounter in Gaborone on Friday.
The Zebras came into the match having eliminated Cosafa neighbours Namibia in the first round after winning the tie 3-2 on aggregate.
On the other hand, Banyana Banyana, who took part in the 2012 and 2016 finals in London and Rio, were given a bye in the first round.
The two Southern African teams both created some opportunities in the early exchanges, but they were very wasteful in front of goal.
