Port Vale slipped four points behind leaders Walsall as they played out an entertaining goalless draw at Bromley.
Michael Cheek screwed a shot narrowly wide for the home side after two minutes and he went closer just shy of the half-hour.
Danny Imray fed Cheek, whose back-heeled effort was brilliantly saved by Vale goalkeeper Connor Ripley.
The Cheek-Ripley battle continued just before the interval, when Ripley produced a fantastic point-blank save from the striker's header.
Vale came to life just after the hour. Antwoine Hackford saw his drive turned behind by Grant Smith before Jayden Stockley's deft header hit a post and rebounded into Smith's arms.
Controversy hit five minutes from time when it appeared Stockley had forced a header over the line but his protests were to no avail.
Right at the death, Ripley then produced his third stunning save of the game when he clawed a header off the line.
