Mamelodi Sundowns wrapped up a remarkable eighth Betway Premiership title in succession and did it in style, smashing in sumptuous goals in their 3-0 win against Chippa United to spark celebrations at Buffalo City Stadium in East London on Wednesday night.
Coach Miguel Cardoso's Brazilians needed a point from the match to clinch the title and confirm their dominance of the league now nearing a decade.
Iqraam Rayners opened the scoring in the 11th minute, joining Brazilian teammate Lucas Ribeiro on 14 goals leading the Premiership top scorers' list.
Ribeiro's countryman Arthur Sales scored a brace, notching his first in the 69th minute, then scoring a stunner from a seemingly impossible angle on the right of the box in the 89th.
These were the scenes at the stadium:
