Mamelodi Sundowns eye historic points record under coach Mokwena Rulani’s ambitious leadership

Mamelodi Sundowns’ coronation as South African champions was swiftly followed by an ambitious declaration from coach Mokwena Rulani, who aims to surpass the remarkable points tally set by his predecessor, Pitso Mosimane, in a bid for further glory.

In a commanding display against Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns reaffirmed their dominance in the Premiership with a resounding 5-1 victory, securing their place atop the league standings with an impressive 62 points.

With six matches remaining in the season, Rulani’s side harbors aspirations of reaching an unprecedented 80-point milestone—a feat that would surpass Mosimane’s previous record of 71 points set during the 2015-2016 campaign.

Undeterred by the magnitude of the challenge, Rulani exudes confidence in his team’s ability to rewrite the annals of South African football history.

“Every mountain is there to be climbed. If you get it, well done, if you don’t get it, bad luck and you try again next time,” remarked the determined South African coach, emphasizing his unwavering belief in the pursuit of excellence.

With the tantalizing prospect of surpassing Mosimane’s record within reach, Mamelodi Sundowns enters the final stretch of the season with a clear objective in mind.

Out of the six remaining fixtures, securing just nine points—equivalent to three victories—would suffice to etch their names in the annals of footballing greatness.

As Mamelodi Sundowns prepare for their upcoming clash against Golden Arrows on May 8, 2024, away from home, the stage is set for a thrilling battle as Rulani’s charges strive to inch closer to their lofty goal.

With the spirit of determination and ambition driving their quest for supremacy, Mamelodi Sundowns embodies the relentless pursuit of excellence in South African football.
