Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile has once again etched his name into the annals of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) history. The Namibian international's remarkable feat came on Friday night as Sundowns faced off against Burundi's Bumamuru FC in the CAF Champions League's second preliminary round, first leg, held in Tanzania.
The Sundowns didn't hold back in this match, delivering a resounding 4-0 victory against their Burundian counterparts. But it was Peter Shalulile's contribution that stole the spotlight. After recovering from a debilitating hamstring injury that had sidelined him for over a month, Shalulile entered the field as a second-half substitute, replacing Lucas Ribeiro.
It didn't take long for Shalulile to make his presence felt. A mere 10 minutes after his introduction, he found the back of the net, sending the Sundowns faithful into wild celebrations. This goal was not just another tally; it was a record-breaking moment for Shalulile.
