The game saw the Port Harcourt side create lots of scoring chances it could not convert to goals.
However, a 53-minute goal by Maryann Ezenagu for coach Edwin Okon’s side was cancelled by the referee.
With an earlier 0-3 loss to AS FAR of Morocco in the first game, a win against Vihiga Queens of Kenya on Friday, may not be enough to qualify them for the semi-finals of the tournament.
The South Africans are leading group B with six points, while the Kenyans and Moroccans are both on three points from two matches. (NAN)
