At the time of publishing, the Brazilians have scored 50 league goals after 25 matches.

That’s an average of exactly two goals per match (no prizes for working that out).

Kaizer Chiefs have only scored 27 goals in 22 matches

Next best in terms of goals scored this campaign are Royal AM with a distant 36 and somewhat embarrassingly, third-best is SuperSport United with just 30.

Shalulile has 21 goals himself, more than SEVEN teams have scored this season!

In terms of the most goals scored in a DStv Premiership season, Kaizer Chiefs are joint holders of that record, but not for long!

Amakhosi scored 55 goals in the 2004/05 season, a mark which was equalled by Mamelodi Sundowns in the 2015/16 season.

SuperSport United are in joint third with the 54 goals they scored in the 2002/03 season, the same number the Brazilians scored in 2004/05.

POLL: WHICH CHIPPA PLAYER WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO SEE JOIN CHIEFS?

Masandawana need just six more goals in their remaining five matches to take sole ownership of the record.

And we won’t bet against them doing so!
