Sundowns is marching step by step towards the championship.
In the Betway Premiership, Sundowns, who are approaching their 8th consecutive title, may have delivered a decisive blow today.
They defeated another strong team, Kaizer Chiefs, 1-0 at home. The only goal of the match was scored by forward Lucas Ribiero Costa in the 41st minute.
Additionally, there was more good news for Sundowns. Their closest league rivals, Orlando Pirates, were defeated by Gallants.
The match ended 2-0, with the first goal scored by Gabadinho Mhango in the 15th minute. In the 77th minute, Thalente Mbatha scored an own goal. This has increased the gap between the two teams to 18 points.
Now, Sundowns has a much easier path ahead. Although they have played 4 more matches, they are currently the clear favorites for the league title.
Orlando Pirates, on the other hand, started the season like a storm but have failed to maintain consistency.
Now, if they want to win the championship, even winning all their remaining matches may not be enough.
