Mamelodi Sundowns Dominate Premier Soccer League, Masandawana Look to Break More Records Before End of Season

• Mamelodi Sundowns wrapped up the DStv Premiership title with four games still to go in the season
• Masandawana hold a 13 point lead over second-place and have scored 13 more goals than the next best team
• Mamelodi Sundowns will be looking to add to their impressive season stats in the remaining four games

Mamelodi Sundowns fans are still raving about their team winning their fifth consecutive DStv Premiership title.

While other clubs find excuses for Masandawana’s dominance, the numbers and stats from their season thus far don’t lie.

Sundowns won their fifth league title in a row and secured their 12th league title since the PSL era began in 1996. The next most successful clubs are the Soweto giants, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, with four league titles each.

As iDiski Times noted, Sundowns have won more league titles than Pirates, Chiefs, and SuperSport United combined.

Sundowns also wrapped up the title with four games to spare, the earliest this has been done since the 2006 season.

So far, Masandawana has scored 50 goals, 13 more than Royal AM, Sport24 reported. 13 is also the number of points that separate the sides at the moment. 13 also happens to be the biggest margin that the Premier Soccer League has ever been won by, a feat that Sundowns could easily surpass.

Sundowns have also only conceded 14 goals this season, the least of any team in the league. In addition, the record for the fewest games lost in a season is just one game, set by Sundowns. This year the Brazilians have only lost two games.

The record for most points in a season is 71, also set by Sundowns. If they win their remaining four games, Masandawana will get 70 points.

It’s not only the team stats that have been impressive this season; individually, the players have also shone.
