The Rockets came close to ending Sundowns’ unbeaten streak in the DStv Premiership when Puso Dithejane opened the scoring in the 78th but the champions fought back to score a late equaliser through Peter Shalulile as the game ended 1-1 at the Mbombela Stadium.
The draw sees Galaxy remain in fourth place on the table with 44 points after 29 matches, with one game remaining in the 2023-24 DStv Premiership season.

“We don’t have financial power like them to spend over R200 million and to be outclassed like this, because I think we dominated the whole game and this unbelievable, beautiful, credit to my players,” Ramovic told SuperSport TV after the game.
“It’s just amazing. What a game from my players because we played three days ago, the same squad, the same players, they have this kind of energy, we didn’t change five players like they did because they have a bigger squad.
“But all in all, congratulations also to them for the tough game, it was a beautiful game, I think the people, the supporters enjoyed it. But we also have to be clear, we had unbelievable chances.
“The only thing is we have to improve the last pass to score when we have these kinds of opportunities, because you don’t get a lot of opportunities when you play against a great team that they have.
“We won the game for us, yes it’s just a point but the attitude, the bravery, the commitment, education for the game, everything else, it was just unbelievable.”
Ramovic went on to say that securing a top-four finish will be like winning the league title, as he believes Rulani Mokwena and Sundowns’ achievements are based on having a bigger financial power.
“If we can reach (top four), it will be for us just like we won the league, because if you see what financial power we have and what other teams have, especially Mr Sunshine with the troop here, this is hard work, this is coaching, this is quality and this is the highest education as a coach,” Ramovic continued.
“If they want to beat us again maybe they should buy Mbappe, Ronaldo and Messi, maybe then he has a bigger chance. If not then he has to take the highest education because this is what he doesn’t have.”
