With a 2-1 win over TS Galaxy on Tuesday evening, Sundowns secured their 13th consecutive win in the league, becoming the first club in PSL history to achieve this feat.

News24 Sport takes a look at some of the records that look like sitting ducks for Sundowns to break: 

Total league games won 

While Sundowns have set the record for the most consecutive match wins in a single season, they have also set a record for the most wins after 15 matches played. Downs had 12 wins after 15 matches this season. 

In addition, the Chloorkop outfit has improved on that record, earning 15 wins in 18 matches played this season. 

Masandawana are also eyeing the record for most games won, which they set in their 2015/16 title-winning season. Sundowns won the league with 22 wins, also setting a record for the highest points scored in any season, with 71. 

However, head coach Rhulani Mokwena has set a new record himself, becoming the first coach in PSL history to win his first nine matches in charge of a top-flight club. 

Mokwena will aim to extend this record when Sundowns face Sekhukhune on Saturday afternoon. If his side manages to win this match, Downs will have beaten all the opposing teams in the Premiership at least once this season, equalling a record set by Kaizer Chiefs during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons. 

PSL title wins 

The Brazilians are on track to win a record sixth consecutive PSL title if they can maintain their winning form. This league triumph would be their 16th title, the highest of any South African
