The race for the PSL Golden Boot was intense this season, and two players emerged tied as joint top-scorers

The race for the coveted Premier Soccer League Golden Boot has been settled following the conclusion of the league campaign last weekend.

Peter Shalulile, Khanyisa Mayo, Monnapule Saleng, Ranga Chivaviro and Bradley Grobler were involved in the bid to be South Africa's top scorer?

Orlando Pirates wideman Saleng, reached double figures for the first time in his PSL career together with Chivaviro and Mayo to place themselves firmly in the running for this award.

The nets were bulging on a regular basis throughout the 2022-23 campaign, GOAL was on hand to monitor the exploits of the PSL's most prolific marksmen.

    #3 Monnapule Saleng

    Saleng has proved the doubters wrong at Pirates this season, and with 11 goals, it’s remarkable to think that the Buccaneers were at one point planning to send him away on loan.
