A Briefly News source said the Stellies players are disappointed to have ended their unbeaten streak against Swallows while securing Champions League football is their primary goal.
"Losing to Swallows hit the boys a bit, but two games are left now to get into the Champions League. There are two games left [one against champions Mamelodi Sundowns], and they need to buckle down to finish second because playing in the Champions League will make this side even better."
If Stellenbosch fails to finish second, they will play in the CAF Confederation Cup by finishing third.
