The win took Chiefs to within 2 points of the top of the league, but the story is really about one man. Despite the furore over the match ball, the giant Burundian took home a new record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-bet-central wp-block-embed-bet-central\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/machibet777-affiliate.com\/soccer\/psl\/dstv-prem-psl-review-2022-10-10\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &#8211; Bimenyimana is the first player in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/south-africa-premier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PSL top-flight<\/a> history to score a hat-trick of penalties in one game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His hat-trick is taking the headlines, and rightly so &#8211; this was the first halt-trick seen in the league this season. Last season\u2019s first hat-trick came with just over a month of the season remaining, but this term, it is much earlier. No one is complaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0 &#8211; Only once before has a PSL season gone from start to finish without a hat-trick, that was 2017\/18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what is the full history of PSL hat-tricks? The first player to score a hat-trick in the PSL was Roger Lupiya, back in December 1996 for Supersport against QwaQwa Stars. Tied 0-0 at half-time, he came on as a substitute to score three goals past Joseph Sibiya. The last player to do so was Peter Shalulile for Sundowns in April this year. Altogether, 119 hat-tricks had been scored in the top-flight, with Bimenyimana\u2019s effort clocking in at Number 120. That said, he\u2019ll consider it special as it is his first, and also his country\u2019s first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &#8211; Bimenyimana is the first player from Burundi to score a hat-trick in the PSL, with Burundi being the 17th different nation represented among hat-trick scorers in the top-flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>MOST HAT-TRICKS BY COUNTRY<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Country<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Number of Hat-tricks<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>South Africa<\/td><td>80<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Zambia<\/td><td>9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Zimbabwe<\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Liberia<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nigeria<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mozambique<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Malawi<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cameroon<\/td><td>2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Namibia<\/td><td>2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>England<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Serbia<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Senegal<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Botswana<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DR Congo<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>New Zealand<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ivory Coast<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Burundi<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you read that right &#8211; the list includes players from England (James Keene) and also from New Zealand&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jeremy Brockie).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>PSL HAT-TRICK BY CLUB<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Team<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>League Hat-tricks<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kaizer Chiefs<\/td><td>16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sundowns<\/td><td>15<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SuperSport<\/td><td>10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Jomo Cosmos<\/td><td>8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Moroka Swallows<\/td><td>7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Orlando Pirates<\/td><td>7<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the club level, the Burundian\u2019s hat-trick was the 16th by a Chiefs player, making them outright leaders when it comes to club trebles in the top-flight. Many readers would be forgiven for not recognising the club with the 4th most hat-tricks in the PSL era. That is the once-mighty Jomo Cosmos, whose contributors to the total include the likes of Tico-Tico Bucuane, Essau Kanyenda &amp; Christopher Katongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11 &#8211; Chiefs have also seen 11 different players score a hat-trick for them in the PSL, the highest number of <strong>unique<\/strong> hat-trick scorers of all sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a player level, Bimenyimana is the 90th player to score a league hat-trick, joining a club of 89 other names led by cult-heroes Pollen Ndlanya &amp; Daniel Mudau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/EmbRgfSUTOO5j6q8so-TnDHWx2DDG0dP1FaFWjGYUIivdBnJfZo6vyUgP9w1_z54vI_hRaIWhZXiVX5-OZTKb7hPIT92XEj9uhfB1c-TsN8GKCDx5XCt3ThLE4gwkisN1ogQk1xpvJ3N2tD6lSCWEvD4oFWeeEVmVCScE1Zg_WI2k592TszcBXU7e5-8DP-q-oVacw\" width=\"269\" height=\"164\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special mention to Pollen Ndlanya who not only leads the hat-trick charts but is also the only player to have scored a hat-trick for three different clubs (Chiefs, Pirates &amp; AmaZulu). Not only that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 &#8211; Pollen Ndlanya scored his hat-tricks in four different seasons &#8211; 1996\/97, 1998\/99, 1999\/00 and 2001\/02.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very respectful of him to take a break in 1997\/98 and 2000\/01.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much much more could be written about hat-tricks, but we\u2019ll round this up with a few quirks on players that scored two hat-tricks. Mabhuti Khanyeza scored two in his top-flight career, with those coming just two months apart (57 days to be exact). It was the shortest gap between hat-tricks by any player who scored more than one until Peter Shalulile had that Haaland-style two hat-tricks in six days earlier this year. Nomvethe also scored two hat-tricks in his (long) career. The first came on 22 February 1998 (hello Nokia) and the last on April 29 2012 (hello iPhone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>14y 2m 5d &#8211; Nomvethe\u2019s gap of 14+ years remains a record for time between two PSL trebles by a single player. Side note: the EPL record is 14 years 1 month and 29 days held by CR7, so Nomvete beats Ronaldo by 7 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One final EPL-related note. Les Ferdinand was the first player to score a hat-trick in successive English Premier League games. Peter Shalulile was the first player to do so in successive South African Premier League games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>29 &#8211; Their second hat-tricks came on the same day exactly 29 years apart: 12 April 1993 &amp; 12 April 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spooky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opta Jabu takes us through the history of PSL hat-tricks after Caleb Bimenyimana\u2019s
