The Dragons were made to rue wasted opportunities as they suffered their first defeat in three matches in a battling 33-25 United Rugby Championship loss at the hands of the Lions in Johannesburg.
Prior to Sunday's fixture, the hosts had won all three of their away fixtures but suffered defeats in each of their three matches at Emirates Airline Park.
The Dragons failed to make the most of an early Lions yellow card, and Ruhan Straeuli's try combined with 14 points from the boot of Jordan Hendrikse had the home side 19-6 up at the interval.
