Halfway to History: Sundowns’ Midseason Report Card

Author: Erica Mathye

Mamelodi Sundowns are writing yet another glorious chapter in their storied history, setting the pace in what has been a thrilling season of the Betway Premiership. Masandawana are on course to extend their reign, chasing an unprecedented eighth consecutive league title.

With just over half the season played, the Brazilians are firmly in control at the top of the log, having amassed 42 points by their 15th match—a clear statement of their determination to reign supreme once more.

Their attacking prowess has been nothing short of electrifying, with over 50 goals netted, while their rock-solid defense remains a benchmark of consistency. They are well on course to surpass last season’s 52-goal tally while maintaining the defensive resilience that has defined their dominance.

Masandawana has been rewriting history books with every passing game. Some of their jaw-dropping achievements so far include:

✅ Record-breaking Start – The first team in PSL history to win more than 12 games by the halfway stage of the season.

✅ Unstoppable Leadership – Coach Miguel Cardoso became the first PSL coach to win his first seven matches.

✅ Dominance in Numbers – 42 points in 15 matches, setting a new PSL record for the highest halfway total.

✅ Goal-Scoring Prowess – 35 goals in 15 matches, equalling the PSL’s all-time record at the midway point.

✅ Lucas Ribeiro Costa’s Impact – As of compiling these records, the Brazilian has netted 10 league goals—just two shy of his tally from last season.

✅ Lightning-Fast Strike – Peter Shalulile scored the quickest goal of this season’s Betway Premiership, finding the net in just 54 seconds against TS Galaxy.

With Miguel Cardoso at the helm, Mamelodi Sundowns has struck the perfect balance between experience and youthful energy. The second half of the season will put their squad depth and mental resilience to the test, but if their first-half dominance is any indication, Bafana Ba Style are more than ready to chase yet another historic triumph.
