Ashely Du Preez’s beautifully curled second-half strike helped Chiefs beat Chippa United 1-0 at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Thursday.
The win keeps Chiefs in the reckoning for the second spot finish as they are now three points behind second-placed SuperSport United, who they’ll face in the penultimate fixture next season. Third-placed Orlando Pirates are a point behind Matsatsantsa with a game in hand. On the other hand. Chippa are now in real danger as they remain 15th on the log.
Nearly-forgotten centre-back Njabulo Ngcobo was also given a rare start, replacing Edmilson Dove, who presumably sustained an injury leading up to the game. Having started at left-back against Sekhukhune, due to Sifiso Hlanti’s suspension, Reeve Frosler started at his right-back position, while the man who’s been playing there for the better part of the campaign, Dillan Solomons, settled for a slot on the bench.
The Congolese striker used his speed and flair to penetrate through the Chippa defence, creating a few opportunities with the best of them falling on Mduduzi Shabalala’s path, who saw his effort hit the crossbar.
