Targeted PSL Records for Sundowns: 10 Achievements Worth Aiming For in the League
Mamelodi Sundowns' Record-Breaking Pursuit in the PSL
Mamelodi Sundowns, South Africa's most successful football club, are on a mission to break several records in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) this season. Here's a rundown of the records they are aiming to surpass.
Winning Streak
Sundowns are eyeing the overall South African record of winning 17 games to start the season, set by Kaizer Chiefs in 1991. To achieve this, they need to win their next 10 league games. However, it's worth noting that no team has ever won 18 straight chiefs games in the PSL. If Sundowns manage to win the next 8 league games, they would match Kaizer Chiefs' record.
Points Record
To break the record for the most points in a 30-game PSL season, Sundowns need to collect 47 points from the remaining 22 games. Pitso Mosimane's record of 71 points in the 2015/16 season stands in their way.
Goalscoring Feats
No team has ever scored 100 goals in a single PSL season. The highest record stands at 98, shared by Kaizer Chiefs in 1998/99, Sundowns in 1999/00, and Sundowns again in 2021/22. To break this record, Sundowns need to score 75 more goals in their remaining matches.
Defensive Solidarity
Sundowns are aiming to break the record for the fewest goals conceded in a full season. The current record of 21 goals conceded in a season was set by Kaizer Chiefs in the 2003/04 season. To achieve this, Sundowns need to concede seven or fewer goals in the next 22 games.
Unbeaten Run
To break the record for the longest unbeaten run in the PSL, Sundowns need to remain unbeaten for the next 22 games. The current record stands at 26 games, set by Orlando Pirates between October 2000 and January 2001.
Clean Sheets
Sundowns are also aiming to break the record for the most crazy games in a full PSL season. Kaizer Chiefs hold the record with 21 clean sheets in the 2003/04 season.
Scoring Streak
Sundowns need to score at least once in the next 17 games to break the record for scoring in consecutive games. Orlando Pirates hold the current record with 29 straight league games between June 2000 and April 2001.
Away Games Record
The record for points collected in away games during a 30-game season is 38, a record held by two teams: 2014/15 Kaizer Chiefs and 2020/21 Sundowns. To break this record, Sundowns would need to collect 39 points from their remaining away chiefs game.
Youngest Goalscorer
In the 2021/22 season, Sundowns saw the youngest-ever PSL goalscorer in the league.
Previous Records
It's also worth noting that Kaizer Chiefs still hold the record for the longest unbeaten run in all competitions - a 30-game streak in 2014 and 2015. Collins Mbesuma holds the record for most goals by a player in a season, scoring 25 in the league and 35 in all competitions in the 2003/04 season.
Sundowns' next game is against Durban City FC, which they won 3:1 on September 20, 2025. However, the exact upcoming fixtures where they could challenge the record of 17 consecutive wins by Kaizer Chiefs in 1991 are not listed in the available data.
As the season progresses, we will keep a close eye on Sundowns' record-breaking pursuit in the PSL.
