Mamelodi Sundowns triumph in the CAF Champions League was due reward for their consistency in the competition, since turning winning it into one of their most cherished goals more than a decade ago.
Having come close last year, when they lost to Egypt upstarts Pyramids in the final, Downs made amends this time around, beating AS FAR of Morocco 2-1 on aggregate to lift the continental title.
The win on Sunday made it three Champions League titles for SA, following Orlando Pirates historic win in 1995, which Sundowns replicated in 2016, and again this past weekend.
