DStv Premiership Match Report: Mamelodi Sundowns Sinks Orlando Pirates Again

• Mamelodi Sundowns continued its unstoppable charge towards a sixth DStv Premiership title in a row
• The Brazilians took all three points in a classic 1-0 victory over Orlando Pirates at Orlando Stadium on Saturday afternoon
• In the process, they completed a clean home and away sweep over their hosts as well as their Soweto arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs

Unbeatable.

That is the only way to describe Mamelodi Sundowns right now. The Brazilians won their 15th DStv Premiership match in a row with a 1-0 victory over Orlando Pirates at Orlando Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors' goal came from Cassius Mailula in the sixth minute following the cheap concession of possession by the hosts at the back. From then on, coach Rulani Mokwena was content with sitting back and allowing Jose Riveiro's men to hold the possession and huff and puff for the equaliser.

The Buccaneers did try, and had many opportunities to win the match, but lacked the ruthlessness that their opponents have by the bucket loads.

Sundowns moved to 55 points on the log, 27 points ahead of Pirates in fourth place, though the latter has two largely irrelevant matches on them.

Maart speaks about Puskas Award snub

It is water off a duck's back.

That is the feeling Yusuf Maart has over missing out on being nominated for the 2023 FIFA Puskas Award. The Kaizer Chiefs midfielder made the headlines worldwide after scoring from behind the halfway line in the Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates last October.

The world's football governing body even shared it on its wide-reaching social media platforms, suggesting that it was worthy of the award. However, he did not make the nominees' list.

Sundowns fans tease Mahlangu

Mamelodi Sundowns supporters are not bothered by Jabu Mahlangu's opinion.

The legendary former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder expressed his concerns about the club's total domination of South African football. Citing the infamous Financial Fair Play as a possible solution, Mahlangu believes this will see the standard of the Premier Soccer League improve and assist Bafana Bafana in the long run.

Following his rant last week about the possible introduction of FFP, the Brazilians' fans gave a cheeky response over this.
