Uganda Premier League champions Vipers SC endured a bitter 2-0 loss to Botswana's Jwaneng Galaxy in the CAF Champions League on Sunday.

At the forefront of this triumph stood Thabang Vincent Sesinyi, who scored two goals for Galaxy and proved an unyielding challenge for Vipers' defensive line throughout the match.

However, Vipers was not the sole target of Sesinyi's remarkable prowess, as he has inflicted pain on numerous other teams with his exceptional goal-scoring abilities.

This impressive feat accumulates to a total of 45 goals in 32 matches across two league campaigns.

Furthermore, Sesinyi's journey also included a stint with South African outfit Platinum Stars, where he scored once in five games during the 2017/18 season.

According to records available on playmakerstats, the Botswana international has achieved a total of 48 league goals in a mere 39 league matches over the past four seasons.

Meanwhile, Vipers has already encountered the potency of Sesinyi's skills.
