Shalulile moves on again at Sundowns

Peter Shalulile will take aim at his first CAF Champions League title, buoyed by reaching a personal achievement in his career.

Mamelodi Sundowns host the first leg of the CAF Champions League final against Egyptian club Pyramids FC on Saturday at Loftus Versfeld (15:00) and will then travel to Cairo for the second leg on June 1.

The first leg at Loftus will come with the significance of being the 50th match in continental club competition for Shalulile throughout his time at Chloorkop.

He is completing his fifth year at Sundowns.

Through his time at Chloorkop, the hard-running centre-forward has scored 101 goals for the club in all competitions.

However, his last was on April 1 in the first leg of the CAF Champions League quarterfinals against Esperance and has since played six without scoring.

Of interest this weekend is that the Namibian will reach half-a-century of appearances on the continent.

The 31-year-old has played and scored in the Champions League every season during his time with The Brazilians.

He also played one and scored one in the African Football League.

Shalulile has been on double numbers on the scoring charts: 11, 15, 23, 30, 22, and 19.
