Kenyan international Brian Niang Mandela featured for 58 minutes as Mamelodi Sundowns clinched the league title following their barren draw with Cape Town City FC on Wednesday night.Going into Wednesday’s game, Sundowns required just a point to win their fifth consecutive league title, this time with four matches to spare, and they did exactly that.Perhaps, it was a perfect response following their exit from the CAF Champions League days ago despite putting up a brilliant display in the second leg at home.The defender got the starting nod, like he has done in many other matches this season, and came off for Divine Lunga after 58 minutes.For the Kenyan, it was his second league win in a row having done so last season, his maiden season with the club.ℝ𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕣𝕕-𝕓𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕣𝕤, ℍ𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕪-𝕞𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕣𝕤1️⃣2️⃣ time PSL CHAMPIONS! 🏆#Sundowns #DStvPrem pic.twitter.com/sF5eZLsaFe— Mamelodi Sundowns FC (@Masandawana) April 27, 2022 The former Tusker FC defender’s season started with an injury, but he shook that off and made a return in the 4-0 win over Richards Bay in the Cup in February, and consequently slotted back to the team for the league match against Chippa United days later.The remaining four matches, against Sekhukhune, Kaizer Chiefs, and Royal AM on the road, and against Stellenbouch at home will be just a formality, but Sundowns will want to put a strong display nevertheless, with reshuffles to the starting team expected.
