• Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rulani Mokwena has lauded Peter Shalulile for his efforts in the MTN8 cup final
• Masandawana took on Cape Town City and it was a hard-fought victory as the match went into extra time and then penalties
• Peter Shalulile is a highly-rated striker in the PSL and the Namibian shows time and time again that he's a dangerous player

Peter Shalulile is arguably one of the leagues most lethal strikers and he is receiving praise from his co-coach Rulani Mokwena.

Mamelodi Sundowns clinched the MTN8 title over the weekend in a dramatic win which saw them take the cup home by winning 3-2 on penalties against Cape Town City. Mokwena is impressed by Shalulile, even though he didn't score in open play.

It's difficult for many teams to keep Peter Shalulile quiet for the whole game but Cape Town City did the job, making the game go onto extra time and then penalties. After a 14-year drought without the MTN8 trophy, Sundowns celebrated in stunning fashion.

"He always has the ability to come up with a goal and he always runs and sacrifices for the team allows us to not only keep him on the pitch for his goals but he personifies the mentality that we like to see on the pitch," said Mokwena about Shaulile according to The Citizen.

Meanwhile, Rulani Mokwena gave his players quite the team talk as the game headed into extra time according to KickOff. He has now revealed what he said during his inspirational speech.

"I really don't know what I said but seemingly it had a reaction because the extra time was a lot braver with more courage. Sometimes you can give the best speeches and the players are not receptive, so it doesn't matter, what matters is the performance," said Mokwena.
