The Brazilians set a new PSL record for matches unbeaten on the night. They have gone 32 games without tasting a loss, surpassing the record set by Kaizer Chiefs of 31 in 2005.

“I’m super proud, unfortunately I’m the type of person not to celebrate too much because there’s an important game at the weekend,” Mokwena told members of the media.

“I’m super proud because the record that you speak about has been standing for nearly 20 years. And it was a super team that had that record. 

“It’s unbelievable because I speak about this group not getting enough plaudits and not getting enough praise. 

“Tomorrow [Thursday, 28 September 2023], all the newspapers should have the ‘record-breaking’ (headline) and not at the back, it’s not a back-page story, it’s a front-page story. Their (players) pictures as a group is a front-page story because they deserve it.” He added.

The head coach emphasised the quality of the players they have in the team.

“They are relentless, focused and persevere. These are the traits of  championship-winning teams,” he said.

“What they have demonstrated is incredible while still trying to play the right way and that’s the way we think football should be played. So a massive congratulations, we try to do things that will echo in eternity.

“I’ve said it before that I don’t think we are appreciated enough and honestly I don’t look for appreciation anymore because I don’t get it so I don’t look for it anymore because it’s part of a selfless nature of a leader.” Mokwena stated.

The Brazilians will be participating in continental football this weekend. Rulani Mokwena Proud of New PSL Unbeaten Record!
