Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile finished among the top scorers with Namibia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The Brave Warriors captain may have missed a penalty in their final Group H game which they lost 1-0 to Togo, but he managed to find the back of the net four times – including one against Senegal last month.
But he was three off the pace of the leader Islam Slimani, who profited with Algeria as they smashed 25 goals in six Group A games. Four of his seven strikes came in the 8-0 thumping of Djibouti.
Les Verts captain Riyad Mahrez, Morocco striker Ayoub El Kaabi, Ibrahima Koné of Mali and Niger all-time record scorer Victorien Adebayor all managed five.
