JOHANNESBURG:

Namibian Peter Shalulile equalled the South African Premier Soccer League scoring record by claiming his 129th goal when Mamelodi Sundowns beat Magesi 2-0 in the Premiership on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old netted from outside the box to match the league and cup goals record of retired Kaizer Chiefs star Siyabonga Nomvethe in the PSL, which was formed in 1996.

Shalulile plans to overtake Nomvethe soon, telling reporters his target this season is 25 goals as Sundowns seek a record-extending ninth straight league title.

"My plan is to score many more goals this season. I just need to get my confidence back," said the forward who left Namibia to join Highlands Park in 2015 and moved to Sundowns five years later.
