• Winning the league title this season will give Mamelodi Sundowns their fifth consecutive Premier Soccer League title
• Mamelodi Sundowns are the most successful club in South African football and continue to set new records

Mamelodi Sundowns are on the verge of cementing their place in South African football history.

Masandawana are in need of just one point to secure their fifth consecutive Premier League Soccer title.

Sundowns currently hold the record for consecutive league titles won at four. The Brazilians have been dominant this season and are on the cusp of securing the title after Royal AM dropped points this weekend.

A draw will see Masandawana take home the prize money of R15 million rand and secure a place in next season’s CAF Champions League, eNCA reported.

Mamelodi Sundowns still have four other games to wrap up the title if they fail to get the job done against Cape Town City. Wrapping the league will also hand Masandawana their 12th league total overall. Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs only have eight league titles between them.

While securing their fifth consecutive Premier Soccer League title is a major achievement, Masandawana will be most disappointed that they can’t be crowned CAF Champions League winners this season.

Mamelodi Sundowns were beaten by Angola’s Petro de Luanda this weekend, Soccer Laduma reported. It was the third consecutive season that the club were eliminated at the quarter-final stage.

Sundowns on the other hand will be extra disappointed. Since winning their maiden Champions League title in 2016, they've only been to the semifinals once since then, Sports Brief earlier reported.
