Sundowns maintain a commanding <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/psl/table/yv73ms6v1995b5wny16jcfi3" target="_blank">13-point advantage</a> at the summit of the Premier Soccer League, with Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United trailing in second and third place, respectively.Additionally, coach Rhulani Mokwena's team are in the quarterfinals of the Caf Champions League, aiming to assert their dominance on the continental stage.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In league play, Sundowns remain undefeated, holding two games in reserve and flaunting a remarkable 42-match unbeaten streak in the PSL. After their recent matches prior to the Fifa international break, they were held to a draw by SuperSport United in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/tshwane-derby-spoils-shared-as-supersport-united-frustrate-blunt-mamelodi-sundowns-to-a-draw/bltfe2ddff9ee560745" target="_blank">Tshwane Derby</a>, followed by a late comeback victory over Maritzburg United in the Nedbank Cup Round of 16, thanks to Thembinkosi Lorch's late brace. These developments have prompted former Pirates goalkeeper Brighton Mhlongo to weigh in on the possibility of Sundowns losing their grip heading into the next season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

“These guys must envy them but don’t learn from them, all we see are people who are envying them but not learning from them. But to be honest, I am seeing a lot of change, I am seeing teams that are now picking up from what Sundowns are doing,” Mhlongo told the media. “I can safely say that I don’t see Sundowns winning the league next season, I don’t see Sundowns winning this Nedbank Cup. I am confident with what I have seen from other teams like Stellenbosch who are growing massively. I think South African football is taking a turn.“If you look at a team like Stellenbosch, they are very good technically and administratively. These are teams that are looking at what Sundowns are doing and trying to better them,” he continued.“Sundowns is an institution and they will always want to pull away whenever they see people trying to catch up with them but I see people like Orlando Pirates have put themselves in a position where they get used to winning by getting trophies.&nbsp;“In the past, we know that a season will not go by without Pirates playing in a final or winning a trophy and now they have become cup specialists,” he concluded.

WHAT MHLONGO SAID?

Despite the mounting pressure, Sundowns remain steadfast in their mission to consistently bring trophies to Chloorkop. Their upcoming priority lies in the first leg of the Caf Champions League quarterfinal against Young Africans on Saturday, March 30th, as they aim to clinch a crucial away victory.
