Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso feels they are not getting enough credit after they continued to set the bar high in the Betway Premiership this season.
Sundowns capped off their eighth consecutive league title with a dominant 2-0 victory over Magesi FC at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Sunday, courtesy of Lucas Ribeiro's brace in their final match.
They ended the season unbeaten at home, winning all 14 matches in Tshwane, while also matching their 73-point record for the 16-team Premiership era set last season under Rulani Mokwena , despite two less matches played 28 in 2024-25 due to the expulsion of Royal AM .
They set a new record for wins 24 in the 18- and 16-team eras, beating Manning Rangers' 23 set in 1996-97, in a 34-game season. Downs played six less this campaign.
The Brazilians scored 65 goals and conceded only 13. Cardoso believes it will be difficult to try to match their record in the future.
