The 18-year-old rounded off the scoring in a comprehensive 3-0 win over Maritzburg United on Tuesday, his first since being promoted to the senior team at the start of the season.
Having recently scored his first senior goal for Kaizer Chiefs, we take a look at where Mduduzi Shabalala ranks amongst the club’s youngest goalscorers.
Former Chiefs golden boy Mandla Masango was 18 years and 28 days old when he scored his first goal for the club in a 2-0 win over Thanda Royal Zulu back in 2007.
The record of Chiefs’ youngest goalscorer ever belongs to Wiseman Meyiwa, who was aged just 17 years, 8 months and 18 days when he netted for Amakhosi in their 2-0 win over Cape Town City in 2017.
Shabalala certainly left an impression on the club’s fans with his goal, which saw him become the third youngest player to score for the Glamour Boys.
