Mamelodi Sundowns create HISTORY by defeating Kaizer Chiefs

Saturday’s victory over Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium increased Mamelodi Sundowns’ lead atop the DStv Premiership standings to a commanding 17 points.

Incredibly, Masandawana completed their first double over Amakhosi in league play.

Despite their dominance of the PSL since the beginning of the professional era in 1996/97, Mamelodi Sundowns had never achieved a league double over Kaizer Chiefs.

Amakhosi have accomplished the double against Masandawana in FOUR prior seasons.

In the 2000/01, 2003/04, 2008/09, and 2011/12 seasons, Kaizer Chiefs accomplished the double over Mamelodi Sundowns.

Mamelodi Sundowns won the first match of the 2022/23 season between the two teams by a score of 4-0 at Loftus Versfeld in August and by a score of 1-0 on Saturday evening.

In the 20th minute, Neo Maema scored the only goal of the encounter.

The victory was the 12th in a straight for the Tshwane giants, setting a new PSL record.

Mamelodi Sundowns will win their thirteenth league championship this season, the twenty-seventh in league history.

In comparison, Kaizer Chiefs have won four championships.

Currently, Mamelodi Sundowns are in first place with 46 points after 18 matches, while Kaizer Chiefs are in fifth place with 24 points after 17 matches.

Masandawana’s next match will be on the road against TS Galaxy on January 24 at 19:30, while the Glamour Boys’ next match will be at home against Royal AM on January 29 at 17:30.
