Namibia striker Peter Shalulile working on finishing ahead of Bafana test

Namibia striker Peter Shalulile has goals on his mind as he prepares to face South Africa on Match Day two of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Mamelodi Sundowns frontman is obviously well known to all the Bafana players and poses a significant threat alongside fellow frontman and Orlando Pirates forward Deon Hotto.

It was Hotto who earned his side a shock 1-0 victory over Tunisia in their Group E opener on Tuesday, for their first ever AFCON win - as South Africa suffered a 2-0 reverse to Mali.

And ahead of Sunday's eagerly anticipated encounter between the two neighbours, Shalulile says he can't be happy unless he is on the scoresheet, having missed a number of chances at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium.

The two-time DStv Premiership Golden boot winner told iDiski Times: "Glory to God first and my teammates, my coaches - being a captain is not easy because everything is on your shoulders.

"You could see the chances I've missed, I thought that if those guys get a win the blame is on me. But the grace God has given me to captain this side is something that I don't take for granted.

"It's a happy day for the Namibians, it's a happy day for us we made history and on to the next one."

Shalulile added: "It was not easy, they had some chances, our keeper was amazing. We had some chances, in another day you get punished.

"That's why I told the coach I'll work on my finishing. I'm a striker and I need to score goals. Today, I got a few chances and I didn't score."
