SuperSport United's veteran striker Bradley Grobler has brought himself tied with Peter Shalulile in the chase for Siyabonga Nomvete's all-time scoring record playing for a top league domestic club.
Grobler was om target yet again on Wednesday night in the 3-2 win over TS Galaxy for his sixth goal in the last five games.

The overall haul for the 35-year-old is now at 107 goals, the same as Shalulile who has missed the last five games for Sundowns due to an ankle injury.
What stands as the prime target is surpassing Nomvete's total of 123 goals.
Nomvete last played topflight football at AmaZulu where he scored the last of his 123 goals against Bloemfontein Celtic in December 2018.
The other two players behind Nomvete on the all-time scoring have also since retired in Mabhuti Khenyeza (110 goals) and Daniel Mudau (108 goals) while the other 'centurions' Tico-Tico (104) and Collins Mbesuma (103) have also hung their boots.
Goals under consideration in this list were scored in the modern day PSL era effective from August 1996 which drowns the other 72 that Mudau scored and two for Tico-Tico.
As it stands, Grobler and Shalulile need 17 each to go beyond Nomvete's record mark.
