Pitso Mosimane and his band of merry Mamelodi Sundowns marauders stand on the cusp of Premier Soccer League (PSL) history for the club.

Should they win Saturday’s Nedbank Cup final against Bloemfontein Celtic at Orlando Stadium‚ the Brazilians will register the first treble success for the club in the PSL era.

Following their unceremonious semi-final exit from the MTN8 at the hands of SuperSport United at the beginning of the season‚ Sundowns didn’t look like a team that could go on to win the treble. Nedbank Cup love Sundowns’ league success hasn’t always been translated into excellent cup run. They’ve had some inexplicably long gaps‚ like 17 years between their second and third MTN8 titles with 12 and 10 years between their second and third Nedbank Cup wins. There are also nine and 16-year gaps in the Telkom Knockout Cup‚ but having being runner’s up five times in the Nedbank Cup‚ they’ve had the necessary conversion to success that’s been missing in the other competitions.
