Mamelodi Sundowns broke a Premier Soccer League (PSL) record with a 31-unbeaten league run at home after their 2-0 win over Marumo Gallants.
The last time Sundowns tasted defeat in a home game, dates back to 25 May 2024, when Jaedin Rhodes ended Sundowns invincible season hopes on the final day of the 2023/24 season.
Since then, Sundowns have built a fortress at Loftus Versfeld and Lucas Moripe Stadium, with the latest win becoming an official record.
Malibongwe Khoza’s 21st minute opener was a result of their dominance in possession, with one way traffic against Phuti Mohafe’s Gallants who have yet to taste victory this season, arriving in Tshwane devoid of confidence.
Masandawana – who will host Golden Arrows in the MTN8 semi-final first leg this weekend, managed to coast to the break with the advantage but suffered a blow with Khuliso Mudau out injured and replaced by Zuko Mdunyelwa.
Cassius Mailula added a stunning second goal just after the hour mark, making it three goals in four games since his return to the club in the off-season to seal a convincing win for Cardoso’s troops who remain unbeaten and into third place, level on points with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates in second and first respectively.
