Mamelodi Sundowns’ Peter Shalulile Misses Easy Chance in Front of Goal During MTN 8 Final, Video

• Peter Shalulile missed an easy chance to put Mamelodi Sundowns in front against Orlando Pirates
• Khuliso Mudau found Shalulile in the box with a pin-point cross, but the Namibian missed the chance
• Fans trolled Shalulile online after the miss, as they were not used to the striker not scoring from there

You would put your house on Peter Shalulile scoring from close range.

The Mamelodi Sundowns striker has built a reputation for being a lethal striker, but sadly couldn’t live up to it in the MTN 8 final.

Sundowns were taking on defending champions Orlando Pirates in the final at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban and should have had a lead at the halftime break.

Shalulile had the best of the chances to put his side in front, as he missed a header in front of an empty net.

The Namibian was picked out by an inch-perfect pass by Khuliso Mudau but headed the ball straight into the ground, which saw it then bounce over the bar.

The missed chance proved to be decisive, as the match finished 0-0 after 90 minutes of play.

Many feel it was a blessing in disguise, as Mudau looked to be offside during the build-up, while others poked fun at Shalulile for missing from close range.

@ShakesRampedi:

“Shalulile 🫣 Mudau looked a hint of offside as well, though.”

@Ta_Fitty:

“Shalulile 🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️ what a miss!!!!”

@boyzen_amakhosi:

“If this was against Chiefs, Shalulile would have scored...he hates us #MTN8.”

@InnocentKhabz:

“Should have been 2-0 Sundowns. Shalulile, how can you miss that??? 😳😳😅😅😅.”

@kappilinho:

“Wow, what a miss by Shalulile. He actually saved the assistant referee because Mudau looked offside before the cross.”

@PLK_Seone:

“The muti must be working. Shalulile missed an open goal!”
