Du Preez's sixth goal in the league gave Amakhosi a 1-0 victory against relegation-threatened Chippa United at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Gqeberha on Thursday in a match watched by more than 40,000 fans, most of whom were backing the gold-shirted visitors.
Amakhosi's win comes after they had suffered a 1-0 loss away to Sekhukhune United on Sunday, a defeat that raised doubts about their chances of fighting Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United all the way for second spot that will secure whoever wins it a place in the Champions League next season. Chiefs' win against Chippa on Thursday still keeps them in fourth spot with 44 points, three behind SuperSport who also have three league matches remaining.
Pirates, who meet Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup semifinal on May 6, are in better shape and form having won all five of their last league matches ahead of their next league game against TS Galaxy at the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday. Shabalala had a better chance to stretch Chiefs' lead but again the teenager skied it when it looked easy to tap the ball home.
