Mamelodi Sundowns are the 2021/22 DStv Premiership Champions.

Masandawna achieved the feat by playing out to a goalless draw at home with Cape Town City.

Cape Town City travelled to Loftus Versveld looking to play spoiler and put Mamelodi Sundowns’ title celebrations on hold.

Sundowns went into the encounter only needing a draw to secure the title. Neither team seemed to want the win though as the first half was largely uneventful. Both sides had enough possession of the ball but did very little with it.

At the end of the half Sundowns only had two shots on target while Cape Town City did not register a single shot on target.

The second half was also largely uneventful. Despite Cape Town City chasing second place in the DStv Premiership they never really looked like a side chasing a win. Sundowns on the other hand didn’t seem to mind the slow pace of the game.

The game eventually ended 0-0, confirming Sundowns as the league champions and sending the stadium into celebration mode.

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.

Only Cape Town City can mathematically catch Mamelodi Sundowns, but the two sides face off on Wednesday. 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.
