Halifax and Altrincham both missed the chance to boost their National League play-off credentials as they played out a goalless draw.
Victory for either side would have opened up a two-point gap to Aldershot in eighth, but hosts Halifax failed to take advantage of a second-half red card for the visitors' striker Matty Kosylo, who was shown a second yellow after 56 minutes for bringing down Florent Hoti.
Defender Jordan Keane blasted over from close range for the home side after 65 minutes as they sought a victory that would take them fifth.
Jamie Cooke also should have won it when his header was planted too close to goalkeeper Ethan Ross, who saved well.
