In a stunning display of dominance, Mamelodi Sundowns have once again etched their name in South African football history by clinching the 2024/25 Betway Premiership title—marking their eighth consecutive league championship. This record-breaking achievement cements Sundowns as the powerhouse of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and highlights their unmatched consistency over nearly a decade.
Title-Sealing Triumph at Buffalo City Stadium
On 14 May 2025, Mamelodi Sundowns traveled to East London’s Buffalo City Stadium and delivered a commanding performance against Chippa United. The 3-0 victory not only secured the league title with one game to spare but also showcased the team’s attacking brilliance and defensive strength.
From the 10th minute, the game was firmly in Sundowns’ hands. Iqraam Rayners, in fine form this season, opened the scoring with a superb strike that not only boosted Sundowns’ momentum but also brought his league tally to 14 goals. This goal put him level with teammate Lucas Ribeiro in the Golden Boot race, highlighting Sundowns’ lethal frontline.
The impact of substitutes was equally decisive. Arthur Sales came off the bench and turned the game completely with two quick goals. His first came from a clever cross that deceived the Chippa goalkeeper, doubling Sundowns’ lead. Then, in the final minute, Sales capitalized on a defensive error to seal a comprehensive 3-0 win.
On the defensive side, Sundowns’ solidity was clear throughout the match. Goalkeeper Ronwen Williams marshaled the backline with authority, supported by defender Lucas Suarez, ensuring Chippa United never seriously threatened to come back.
A Historic Feat for Sundowns and South African Football
