In midweek DStv Premiership action, the Mamelodi Sundowns striker displayed his goal-scoring prowess, while the race for second continued to heat up.
downplayed the prospect of usurping Zambian striker Collins Mbesuma’s longstanding record of 25 league goals in a single season, saying it was about the team’s success before his own.
Shalulile also has the same number of games to add to his haul of 18 league goals so far, and possibly match or surpass the record that the lethal Mbesuma set during the 2004/2005 season in the colours of Kaizer Chiefs. More realistically, he can become the first player to breach the 20-goal mark since Siyabonga Nomvethe did it for Moroka Swallows a decade ago.
“[He is] one player that never puts his foot wrong in terms of giving himself, giving his heart to the team and I’m sure everyone in the club is excited to have a player like him because he’s such a good role model. Even when things are going well for him, he works the hardest in the team and that’s very important.”While Sundowns are sprinting to the title on the final stretch of the league marathon, the race for second and a final Caf Champions League slot is still wide open.
