Sundowns needed a late goal from Peter Shalulile to grab a 1-1 draw away to TS Galaxy. The result meant they maintained their unbeaten run this season, and are one game away from an unprecedented invincible season. Here are 5 stats from the midweek PSL action:
Shaluliile the thorn
8 – Peter Shalulile has scored eight goals for Sundowns in eight league appearances v TS Galaxy – his outright most against a single opponent in the competition for The Brazilians.
Downs fall short
A win against TS Galaxy would have been their ninth double of the season, and a new PSL record.
8 – Sundowns will end the season on eight league doubles. No team has won more than eight doubles in the same PSL season:
8 – 1996/97 Manning Rangers
8 – 2015/16 Sundowns
8 – 2023/24 Sundowns.
TS Galaxy’s fortress
33 – Only Sundowns (36) have won more points in home matches than TS Galaxy’s 33 this season (P15 W10 D3 L2).
You can almost bank on Galaxy to score
14/15 – TS Galaxy have scored at least once in 14 home games this season, the joint-most of all #dstvprem teams (level with Sundowns).
Weirdly, they have more blanks away from home than any other side (10).
Sundowns invincible on the road at least
1 – Sundowns will end the season unbeaten away from home in the league (W11 D4); only the second time a side has gone unbeaten on the road across an entire PSL campaign (also 2020/21 Sundowns).
