BAFANA Bafana stretched their win-less streak to eight matches with this dull goalless draw after acknowledgement from both players and coach Pitso Mosimane that the team had to start winning games.

It was always going to be difficult to predict whether a match between a side that failed to qualify for the 2012 Africa Nations Cup in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon and the one that couldn't win a single game at the tournament would produce sparks.

This was the eighth match Bafana could not win, managing yet another draw - albeit a goalless draw.

Mosimane's men last notched up a win in August last year against Burkina Faso in a 3-0 rout at Ellis Park Stadium.

Although Mosimane is still the man to lead Bafana in next year's Afcon finals here in South Africa, the pressure is pilling up on the coach. That a near full-strength Bafana team failed to beat a Senegal side mostly made up of their under-23 squad tells a disgraceful story.

Bafana had the majority share of the ball possession, with Senegal only relying on Deme Ndiaye to take long range shots at goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune.

However, the Teranga Lions were pedestrian for the better part of this encounter.

Mosimane was restless on the bench, screaming instructions to his men, but early opportunities were never taken as that could have made a major difference.

Bafana could have taken an early lead after May Mahlangu found himself with only the Senegalese goalkeeper, Bouna Coundoul, to beat in the ninth minute.

The midfielder, rushed by a mob of opposition defenders, only produced a tame shot that was saved by the goalkeeper.

Mahlangu, who made the starting line-up ahead of Daylon Claasen and Teko Modise, soon lacked confidence following that missed chance, losing possession and making poor final decisions when Bafana were in attack.

The inclusion of Mahlangu, only getting his second cap for Bafana, was a positive move by coach Mosimane though.

The coach opted for one defensive midfielder instead, picking Kagisho Dikgacoi in the holding role and Mahlangu as the playmaker.

Captain Steven Pienaar was roaming around the field, with Thulani Serero deployed just behind strikers Katlego Mphela and debutant Edward Manqela.

The formation had Mosimane agitated on the bench as the one minute it worked and didn't the next.

In the 29th minute, all three attackers were involved in trying to get a goal in this dull outing.

Serero played a quick one-two with Manqela, the former making the final pass to Mphela, who shot straight at the keeper.

There was also a penalty appeal in the 42nd minute, and these three players were again involved.

Serero played a tricky cross into the box, which Mphela got a touch onto to draw a save out of Coundoul. The rebound off the save fell to Manqela, who seemed to have been tripped inside the box, but the referee ignored the penalty appeals from Bafana players.

That is as far as the excitement in the match went.

The second half mostly saw substitutions by Mosimane in an attempt to try and turn the game around.

Dikgacoi came off for Thanduyise Khuboni and Punch Masenamela replaced Tsepo Masilela.

Pienaar also made way for Teko Modise, while Lebohang Mokoena slotted in for Serero.

But those changes made little impact as Bafana played to yet another goalless draw.

The fans booed Mosimane as he made his way to the tunnel.
