LIVE | MAMELODI SUNDOWNS V GOLDEN ARROWS – TUESDAY, 12 APRIL

Kick-off is at 15:00.

Namibia’s Shalulile needs seven more DStv Premiership goals in the final six matches of Mamelodi Sundowns’ 2021/22 season to tie the all-time goal scoring mark for a single season.

Thanks to a hat-trick against Swallows last Wednesday, Shalulile took his tally for the season to 18, four more than closest rival Victor Letsoalo of Royal AM.

The record all-time highest single season goal scoring mark is currently held by Zambia’s Collins Mbesuma who scored 25 goals in helping Kaizer Chiefs to the 2004/05 title.

Peter Shalulile’s tally is already the highest since the 2011/12 season when Swallows’ Siyabonga Nomvethe walked away with the Lesley Manyathela Golden Boot honours for his 20 goals.
