From Denis Onyango’s acrobatics and athleticism in the MTN Cup final to Peter Shalulile’s perfect hat-trick against Moroka Swallows in the DSTV Premiership and Thapelo Morena’s last-gasp strike in the Nedbank Cup final, Bafana Ba Style were mesmerising across the three domestic competitions. They were a team littered with deep-rooted self-belief who never doubted their ability to win games.
The Chloorkop-side bagged a staggering 56 league goals in the just concluded season, a record in a 30-game PSL campaign. Thus, they also set a new top-flight record for the best goal difference in a single 30-game season with a mammoth figure of +36. Downs also finished with the best defensive record with just 20 goals conceded.
Shalulile who consequently won the PSL Top Goal Scorer Award praised The Brazilians for their unwavering desire en route to a memorable treble.
“It was a wonderful season for us with a couple of ups and downs. Although we did not achieve our continental dream this year, we made our mark in the competition with some big results. At a club like Sundowns, the objective is to keep fighting for the ultimate prize and we will go again next season. Winning this domestic treble means a lot to the club and I am happy to have played a pivotal part in our record-smashing season,” Shalulile stated.
“It was a demanding season for me considering that I was out for a majority of the campaign after the serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The season was a big success for me and the team as a whole. Everyone was disappointed that we exited the CAF Champions League at the quarterfinal stage. Nevertheless, this treble is a wonderful achievement and I am very happy that I played a part in this success story,” Maboe explained.
“As someone who progressed through the ranks (Academy) at Sundowns, winning the treble this season means so much to me. This is a motivation for the youngsters at the Academy to keep their eyes on the ball and never lose focus. I know it is not easy to break into the Sundowns First Team from the Academy, but they have to keep pushing hard in training. Sundowns is a club that strives for excellence and I am solid proof that determination pays if you do not give up. I hope my story inspires the upcoming youngsters at the club,” said Mkhulise.
The Pursuit of Perfection remains the ultimate mandate!
