Mamelodi Sundowns gap could reduce to just 12 points as Orlando Pirates benefit from unfortunate PSL decision on Royal AM

Royal AM have been fighting for survival in the Premier Soccer League despite their financial struggles.

A potential buyer recently failed the players and the management despite promising to salvage he situation.

With a couple of rounds remaining to conclude the season, the PSL management had to act.

The Executive meeting recently met to discuss the situation and agreed to expel Royal AM from the PSL.

However, the member clubs will have to ratify that decision in an urgent meeting that has already been planned.

Once that happens, Thwihli Thwahla will be officially removed from the South African top tier.

Some teams, like Mamelodi Sundowns, will be affected since they are among the 11 teams that played Royal AM.

Once the results are nullified, their current gap of 15 points will be reduced to 12, which will motivate Bucs to continue fighting for the crown.

Have a look at what the PSL's Executive Committee stated;

Some Premier Soccer League teams will now be targeting some top players from Royal AM who could walk out for free.

However, it is unfortunate that Thwihli Thwahla go down like this when the owner was passionate about taking the team to greater levels.
