Johannesburg: Stellenbosch stretched an unbeaten record in all competitions to 18 matches by defeating Royal AM 3-0 on Saturday and climbing to second in the South African Premiership.
Goals by Devin Titus and Iqraam Rayners, either side of a Siphesihle Msomi own goal, lifted the club from the western Cape rugby union heartland to 35 points from 20 matches.
They are two points ahead of Sekhukhune United, Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United in the race to claim the second qualifying place for the 2025 CAF Champions League.
Runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who did not play as they had an African date in Tanzania, hold an 11-point advantage, and have played at least two matches less than their rivals.
Only a dramatic collapse can stop the Pretoria outfit lifting the Premiership trophy for a seventh straight season and booking an 10th Champions League appearance in a row.
