The 28-year-old Namibian struck twice within five minutes to give the Pretoria club an early two-goal advantage over their lowly opponents Swallows in Soweto.
JOHANNESBURG - Peter Shalulile scored a hat-trick as Mamelodi Sundowns moved within 10 points of a record-extending fifth straight South African Premiership title by winning 4-2 at Swallows on Wednesday.
He has scored 18 Premiership goals this season - four more than closest rival Vincent Letsoalo from Royal AM - and 24 in all competitions. "We treated them with the same respect as any other opponents. Our preparations were thorough, analysing every aspect of Swallows. We noted where they were strong and weak and planned accordingly."
Sundowns' widest title-winning margin is 14 points in 2016 and co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi says that is one mark they hope to improve on this season.
