Sundowns Ladies Seal Glory with Back‑to‑Back Triumphs
Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies have underlined their dominance in South African women’s football with two decisive victories in the space of a week — a hard‑fought 1–0 win over Copperbelt Ladies on Sunday, followed by a commanding performance against City Lads on Wednesday, November 19, that effectively sealed their sixth consecutive Hollywoodbets Super League title.
Copperbelt Clash: Patience Pays Off
At Lucas Moripe Stadium, Sundowns were forced to break down Copperbelt’s stubborn low block. After 75 minutes of probing, Munashe Mugwara’s curling cross found Refilwe Tholakele, whose glancing header delivered the breakthrough.
- Tholakele extended her scoring streak to seven matches, bringing her season tally to 14 goals.
- Midfielder Nonhlanhla Mthandi praised the team’s tactical maturity, while defender Karabo Dhlamini highlighted the clean sheet as proof of defensive discipline.
- The result pushed Sundowns to 23 wins in 27 games, with an astonishing 77 goals scored and only 7 conceded.
Title Showdown: City Lads No Match
Just days later, Sundowns returned to Lucas Moripe Stadium with history on the line. Facing City Lads, the Brazilians delivered a performance worthy of champions.
- Sundowns’ attacking firepower proved too much, continuing their season‑long dominance with another emphatic win.
- The victory mathematically secured their sixth straight league crown, cementing their status as the undisputed powerhouse of the Hollywoodbets Super League.
- Fans and analysts alike hailed the achievement as a testament to consistency, depth, and collective focus.
With stars like Tholakele, Rabale, Ludwig, and Majiya leading the scoring charts, and a defensive unit that has conceded fewer than ten goals all season, Sundowns Ladies have set a benchmark for excellence. Their back‑to‑back wins this week were not just about points — they were about history, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of greatness.
