Mamelodi Sundowns put on a spectacular display to mark their championship triumph in the South African Premier League, defeating Marumo Gallants 2-0 in their final home fixture of the season.

The star of the match was Lucas Ribeiro Costa, who netted a first-half brace. With these goals, the Brazilian forward increased his tally to 16 for the season, putting him at the top of the scoring charts and making him a leading contender for Player of the Year honors.

In a show of respect before kickoff, the Maghasi players formed a guard of honor, allowing the Sundowns champions to walk through to the delight of the home crowd.

Immediately after the final whistle, the trophy was brought onto the pitch, a piece of silverware the "Brazilians" have now held for eight consecutive years. This 15th league title is also a record in South African football history.

Head coach Miguel Cardoso dedicated this victory to the club's fans, expressing gratitude for their unwavering support throughout the campaign.

The Sundowns completed the season with a perfect home record, winning all 14 matches on their own turf. They matched last year's total of 73 points, despite playing only 28 games instead of 30.

Now, Mamelodi's focus shifts to the first leg of the CAF Champions League final against Pyramids, set for this Saturday.
