The other goals of Azam FC were scored by Obrey Chirwa to tie with the last season golden boot winner Meddie Kagere of Simba in the second position.

Alredy Dube has announced that he is not targeting the golden boot award, but wants the team to win the league title. The player said he wants to see Azam FC win their matches and collect as many points as possible so that they can clinch the title.
