TS Galaxy secured a stunning 1-0 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns in a Betway Premiership match, ending Sundowns' ten-match winning streak and halting their pursuit of an eighth consecutive title. Kamogelo Sebelebele's goal just before halftime proved decisive as Galaxy's resolute defense held strong against Sundowns' relentless attacks.

Sure, the story will be that Sundowns lost. They are the country's top side by the proverbial mile, and following the weekend's result, one cannot help but see the outcome that way. Yet, there is the fact that Galaxy are on an incredible stratosphere under Adnan Beganovic since he took over from Sead Ramovic as the head coach.
Sundowns were on a ten-match winning streak with Miguel Cardoso yet to lose in the league, but Galaxy changed all that with a showing so compellingly brave and solid, they inflicted the Brazilians’ second defeat of the current campaign. When he scored, Sebelebele was again in a tight space when he latched onto a pass from Dzenan Zajmovic, going to the outside this time around. He controlled the ball with his right, pushed it with his left, and then side-footed it with his right through Williams' legs for the opener that sent the home crowd into raptures and had coach Adnan Beganovic celebrating wildly.
