Mamelodi Sundowns suffered a 1-0 defeat to TS Galaxy, ending their hopes of extending their lead in the Premiership standings. The loss, Sundowns' second of the season, came despite controlling much of the match. Coach Miguel Cardoso acknowledged the physicality and aggression of Galaxy, while emphasizing the fatigue his team faced playing their fourth match in 72 hours. Despite the setback, Cardoso remains confident his team will bounce back stronger for the upcoming Nedbank Cup clash against Mpheni Home Defenders.

But Kamogelo Sebelebele scored on the stroke of halftime, and The Rockets held on for a famous victory as they stretched their unbeaten run in the league since Adnan Beganovic took over to 11 matches. “We wanted to start a strong game. I think in the first half, we had the energy to control the game, but we had to deal with the counter-attacks of TS Galaxy, who are not only physical, but they were aggressive on the counter-attack.”
“In the second half, it was clear that the energy, we were on very low batteries despite the intentionality to try and do things.
