Nyasha Mushekwi Could Record His Best Scoring Season At Yukun 

Former Zimbabwe Warriors forward Nyasha Mushekwi could break his record for most league goals in a season after scoring a brace in yesterday’s 3-2 loss to ShiJiazhuang Gongfu in the Chinese League One encounter.

The brace which is his fifth of the season was scored in both halves (12′, 72′ minutes) as they suffered their third defeat of the season however taking his tally to 22 goals and three assists in 27 league games so far this season in what could be his most productive campaign ever.

He scored 18 goals last season for Zhejiang and continued to score 7 goals more in the 2024 AFC Champions League Elite with Zhejiang before moving to the newly promoted league one side Yunnan Yukun.

Mushekwi has continued to prove unstoppable for Yunnan Yukun in the Chinese League One scoring a goal in almost every match he played this season.
