The point earned from the match game Masandawana and unassailable lead in the league and thus they extend their record of five straight titles.

Following the win last night, Sundowns, stress that it remains business as usual and they will only celebrate the title on the last day of the league.

Co-coach, Rulani Mokwena, lauded Sundowns as a collective for all the work that went into winning the PSL.

“Firstly of course congratulations to Masandawana family, congratulations to the supporters and it's good to wrap up the title with them here, so I'm very happy for them.

“Congratulations to the technical team, it has been a very difficult season but we grafted and put in the hours, so congratulations. Congratulations to the club, the entire club management, the Motsepe family, the Chairman, the President, the board and everybody involved.

“The support has been incredible throughout, in bad moments and good moments, we stuck together. They've given us a push throughout the season.

“But last and not least, and probably the most important people, is the football players, they have been magnificent this season, what they have achieved on the pitch has been incredible.

“If I talk to you about how many times we've changed systems, how many build-up schemes we've got, how many high press schemes, it's only a reflection of the quality and the intellectual capacity of our players and we're very proud of them and just honoured to be their coaches.”

In Wednesday's other games, Orlando Pirates, had their dreams of qualifying for the CAF Champions League dented with a goalless draw against Chippa United in Soweto, while their bitter-rivals, Kaizer Chiefs, were beaten 2-1 by Golden Arrows in Lamontville.
