JOHANNESBURG - Mamelodi Sundowns won a record-extending 13th consecutive South African Premiership match on Tuesday with a 2-1 victory at lowly TS Galaxy.Sundowns won 11 matches in a row in the 2006-2007 season, a record they equalled this month against SuperSport United before scoring further victories over Kaizer Chiefs and Galaxy.
One of those losses was a shock setback at home to Galaxy, so success was particularly sweet in the eastern city of Mbombela through goals from Rushine de Reuck and Peter Shalulile. Namibian Shalulile, whose prolific scoring has made him the dominant Premiership player of the past two seasons, doubled the lead with a close-range tap-in on 64 minutes.
