Sale Sharks' knockout hopes still remain in the balance despite defeat by Stormers in the Investec Champions Cup.

Stormers scored first-half tries through Hacjivah Dayimani and Suleiman Hartzenberg but Sale responded when Jonny Hill raced clear.

Leolin Zas restored the South African side's buffer, with Agustin Creevy's try keeping the Sharks in touch.

A second try from Zas gained Stormers the bonus point but Sam Bedlow's late try grabbed Sale a losing bonus point.
