JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Apr 14 – Forward Peter Shalulile from South African club Mamelodi Sundowns is in superb form ahead of a CAF Champions League quarter-final first leg against Petro Luanda in Angola on Saturday. The 28-year-old Namibian this week became the first player to score hat-tricks in successive South African Premiership matches, and took his tally in all competitions this season to 27 goals. His successive league trebles, away to Swallows and at home against Golden Arrows, have taken Sundowns within seven points of a fifth straight Premiership crown. Ramadan concessionsChampions League matches kick off at 1300, 1600 and 1900 GMT on Fridays and Saturdays, but the rules have been loosened due to Ramadan, the Muslim holy month. This season, Esperance share with Sundowns the distinction of being unbeaten in Champions League qualifying and group matches while Setif have suffered five defeats in 10 matches.
