Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies enter their home clash against Richmond United this Saturday, still boasting an incredible defensive record. They remain the only side yet to concede a single goal this season.
This remarkable feat underscores their discipline and organization at the back, making them the team to beat in the 2025 Hollywoodbets Super League.
Last season, Sundowns Ladies showcased their dominance over Richmond United with two commanding victories. The first meeting ended 5–0 in favor of the Brazilians. Their second encounter was even more convincing, as Banyana Ba Style ran out 8–0 winners with Boitumelo Rabale netting a hat-trick.
Forward Lelona Daweti reflected on the team’s current form and outlook: “As a team, we are very happy with the results we have been getting. It gives us positive energy and has a great impact on us as a squad. But we are hoping to continue like this — staying focused, consistent, and hungry for more success.”
Midfielder Cimone Sauls added insight into the team’s impressive defensive streak. “We are very happy with the fact that we have played nine games without conceding any goals. Keeping nine clean sheets in a row was not easy, but it is an indication of the hard work and discipline the entire squad has put in. Maintaining that level of consistency is tough, so the team is proud, but we know there is still a long way to go. The goal now is to keep building on that momentum.”
Sauls also stressed the importance of respecting every opponent in the league, regardless of past results.
“Even though last year’s results were super impressive, we cannot afford to take any team in this league for granted. Teams improve every season, and many may have made changes to their squad or style of play. We are preparing for a competitive match, focusing on executing our game plan and maintaining our standards. We aim to secure another three points.”
The match between Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies and Richmond United is set to take place at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday, May 17, at 15H00.
