Mamelodi Sundowns’ nine-match unbeaten run in the Absa Premiership has seen them emerge as potentially the only serious challengers to runway leaders Kaizer Chiefs this season.
The latest victory, a routine 2-0 win over Free State Stars moved the Tshwane side up to second in the table, still 13 points behind Chiefs but with a game in hand.
And they will be quick to point out that they trailed Chiefs by 11 points at around the halfway mark of last season, and stormed home to lift the championship trophy in the second half of the campaign.
They face another test against Orlando Pirates on Wednesday, with their opponents smarting from their Soweto Derby loss to Chiefs on Saturday.
And coach Pitso Mosimane says there is still much more improvement to come from his side.
“We should not get ahead of ourselves. Sure, we are beginning to score goals, and that’s important. But we are not quite where we want to be,” Mosimane said.
“We are giving as many players as possible game time as we prepare for the challenge, not only of the remaining games of the year, but also the crowded second half of the PSL season plus our African Champions League foray.
“We are going to need every player as injuries and suspensions will be inevitable,” Mosimane added.
“All our players need to be ready to step up their effort. Factor in the travelling time that is going to come into play, and you will see why it is important to prepare the whole team for the challenge.
