02 May 2011<\/p>\n

Ajax Cape Town took a giant step towards their maiden Premier League crown in South Africa when they opened-up a three-point lead at the top of the table over their title rivals.<\/p>\n

The Urban Warriors managed a scrappy, less-then-convincing 2-1 victory over AmaZulu on Fruday night, coming back from a goal down at the Athlone Stadium.<\/p>\n

After Ayanda Dlamini had given Usuthu a two-minute lead, Khama Billiat and Clayton Daniels earned the three points for a nervous-looking Ajax.<\/p>\n

Orlando Pirates were then beaten 1-0 by SuperSport United, Bafana Bafana centre-back Morgan Gould scoring the only goal of the game, a potential hammer-blow to their title-chances.<\/p>\n

Mamelodi Sundowns kept their hopes alive with a comfortable 2-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs, who have now dropped out of the race.<\/p>\n

Sundowns are five points behind Ajax but do have a game in hand away at AmaZulu and could close that gap to just two points. Their goals in the win over Chiefs came from Elias Pelembe and Nyasha Mushekwi.<\/p>\n

Bloemfontein Celtic sealed fifth spot with an emphatic 4-1 victory over BidVest Wits, Siphelele Mthembu netting twice to go with a striker from Danny Venter and an own goal from Derrick Spencer. Sifiso Vilakazi scored for Wits.<\/p>\n

Vasco da Gama were the big losers in the battle to avoid the relegation play-off position as they lost 5-3 at home to fellow strugglers Platinum Stars.<\/p>\n

Dikwena are now safe, but with Moroka Swallows beating Free State Stars and Maritzburg United coming out on top against already relegated Mpumalanga Black Aces, things look bleak for Vasco.<\/p>\n

Finally, Santos won their first match in 11 games as they beat Lamontville Golden Arrows 4-3 in a thrilling mid-table battle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
