Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has opened up on his side breaking Kaizer Chiefs after going 32 games undefeated in the DStv Premiership.

The Brazilians broke the record after they came from behind to beat Stellenbosch FC 3-1 thanks to goals from Grant Kekana, Aubrey Modiba, and Siyabonga Mabena at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Wednesday.

Sundowns have now maintained their perfect record in the league and have now claimed eight wins from their first eight matches so far this season.

Mokwena says he is proud of what his side have accomplished so far this season after breaking the record for the most game going undefeated in the league.

“You have to look at what they’ve done and look at their previous game Stellies are a very, very good team. Well coached with very, very good players. Even the players that came on as subs, big compliments to Stevie Barker and Wesley and technical team for what they’ve done,” Mokwena told SuperSport TV after the game.

“But also massive, massive congratulations to this football club. Massive, massive work we stand now as the new record breakers with 32 games unbeaten in a row.

“Just want to congratulate everyone involved from the Motsepe family, chairman to the fans, supporters and then to this incredible group of players and the technical staff, unbelievable very, very proud of them and congratulations.

“A tough win and to come from 1-0 down against a very good side is not easy and we showed good character, but very very proud of this team, he concluded.
