Namibian goal-machine Peter Shalulile was at it again for the South African champions, this time scoring from the penalty spot in the first half after his injury-time heroics against Chippa last time out. Shalulile now has six top-flight strikes this season and already holds a commanding lead in the race for the top scorer award.

“Firstly compliments to both teams I think they gave it a very good go, compliment to our players because they dug deep and gave a lot of effort and a lot of commitment,” Mokwena told SuperSport after the match.

“We want to be a very difficult team to play against and the harder it is the better for us.”
