Sundowns Sets New PSL Record with Win Over Sekhukhune
Mamelodi Sundowns, the powerhouse of South African football, continues to make headlines with their remarkable performances.
In a recent clash against Sekhukhune United in the DStv Premiership, Sundowns secured a new Premier Soccer League (PSL) record after a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Loftus Versfeld.
The Match
Despite making a staggering eleven changes from their previous match against Esperance Sportive de Tunis, Sundowns displayed their resilience and determination.
Head coach Rulani Mokwena’s tactical adjustments paid off, and the team got off to a dream start when Tashreeq Matthews found the net in the very first minute.
Thapelo Morena added another goal just seven minutes later, putting Sundowns in a commanding position.
Sekhukhune’s Fightback
Sekhukhune United, however, didn’t back down. Lehlohonolo Seema made crucial substitutions during halftime, injecting fresh energy into his team.
Chibuike Ohizu converted a penalty, narrowing the deficit to 2-1. The match became scrappy and stop-start, but Sundowns managed to hold on and secure the victory.
A Historic Milestone
With this win, Mamelodi Sundowns extended their unbeaten streak in the 2023/24 campaign to an impressive 22 league games—a feat never achieved before in the PSL.
Their consistency and dominance have left fans and pundits in awe. The previous record of 31 unbeaten matches held by Kaizer Chiefs has been surpassed, cementing Sundowns’ place in football history.
What Lies Ahead
As the season progresses, Sundowns look poised to defend their league title with record-breaking points. If they continue their form, they could finish the season with a staggering 80 points—a testament to their excellence on the pitch.
The football world eagerly awaits the return leg at Loftus Versfeld, where Sundowns will aim to extend their unbeaten run and continue their pursuit of greatness.
One thing is certain: Sundowns just can’t stop breaking records, and their legacy grows stronger with each match.
