PSL Stars Lead Golden Boot Race In 2022/23 CAF Inter-Club Competitions

Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile and Marumo Gallants’ Ranga Chivaviro are in pole positions to scoop the 2022/23 Golden Boot awards in Africa this season.

Shalulile netted twice in their 4-1 win over CR Belouizdad on Saturday evening at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers to put Sundowns one foot into the semi-finals.

He moved on to five goals in five games in the competition since returning from his sports hernia injury and leveling up with Raja Atheltic Club star Hamza Khabba, who netted the same amount in six games.

In the CAF Confederation Cup, the in-form Chivaviro netted a vital away goal in Cairo as Gallants bring home a 1-1 draw in their first-leg quarter-final against Pyramids.

The 30-year-old, who is pushing for a first senior call-up with his impressive form of late, is level with DR Congo international striker Fiston Mayele, who netted a brace as Yanga downed Rivers United 2-0 in Uyo on Sunday afternoon.

No goals scored before the group stages are considered for the Golden Boot award according to the latest CAF inter-club rulings.
