Shalulile is 'very important' for Downs

September 01, 2025

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has once again stressed the importance of Peter Shalulile (right) after the Namibian striker wrote his name into the history books by breaking Siyabonga Nomvethe's long-standing PSL goalscoring record.

Shalulile is 'very important' for Downs

Shalulile struck the only goal in Sundowns' 1-0 victory over Stellenbosch FC at Athlone Stadium on Saturday, a result that also eased some of the pressure on Cardoso.

The decisive finish took the forward's career tally to 130 goals in South African football, surpassing Nomvethe's mark of 129. His goals have come across spells with both Highlands Park and the Brazilians.

It was a particularly meaningful moment for the 31-year-old, who struggled for game time at the back end of last season. He was only limited to just 13 minutes at the Fifa Club World Cup.
