@Trending: Online fans go wild over Mamelodi Sundown's historic Fifa World Club Cup win

Mamelodi Sundowns top Group F with three points following their 1-0 victory over Ulsan HD in their Fifa Club World Cup clash in Orlando, Florida, US, yesterday morning. This is what fans posted on X:

@_owurakuampofo Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams became one of the first keepers to break the new 8 second rule at the Club World Cup. He held the ball for more than 8 seconds, therefore a corner kick was given to the opposition.

@FootballPoliti Mamelodi Sundowns stunned Ulsan HD 1‑0 today in Orlando, boosted by Iqraam Rayners’s 36th-minute breakaway goal. This marks the first-ever win for an African club in this expanded format.

@CAFCLCC The Sky is the limit, wherever we go.

@salimosaid One of the interesting aspects about this Club World Cup competition is when there is a contrast in styles. A team like Ulsan HD play so differently to the teams Sundowns come up against locally and at CAF level.

@YELL0MAN You know something special is happening! After their stunning display at Club World Cup,global fan has declared they want to wear the badge that represents pure football artistry. Sundowns’ style isn’t just winning matches – it’s winning hearts everywhere.

@Tshingana904 The stadium was half full because only football teams from few European leagues are big around the world. Definitely, it was the first time that USA citizens ever heard of Mamelodi Sundowns & Ulsan HD. Other teams in the Club World Cup are experiencing the same low attendance.

@TChinoera Divine Lunga of Zimbabwe won the match for Sundowns at the Club World Cup. Mamelodi Sundowns share colours to a large extent with Zimbabwe warriors. Mamelodi Sundowns must be nicknamed ‘The Zimbabweans’, not ‘Brazilians’.

@CaGee21 Themba Zwane is not as sharp as he used to be, purely due to age and injuries. Hasn’t had much impact for Sundowns for the past seasons but seeing him play in the Club World Cup just puts him well in his career he deserves it. Sundowns should retire that No 18 shirt.

@BathabileLethob Imagine if chiefs had somehow qualified to the club world cup with the current crop of players, it was going to be a mess. Sometimes I understand why sundowns go for these high quality players, you can’t compete in that level with Solomons, Hotto and Makhaula.

@FutOffsides First error by Semi-Automated Offside Technology in the Club World Cup.Rayners was not offside in the build-up to Mamelodi Sundowns’ disallowed goal against Ulsan HD.

@K33GZSA If Sundowns win the Club World Cup, @CyrilRamaphosa must give ZA the whole week off.

@AskPerplexity Based on the latest numbers, Mamelodi Sundowns have edged ahead and are currently the richest club in Africa, with a valuation around $32 million after their Club World Cup earnings, while Al Ahly is just behind at about $31 million. For now Sundowns are sitting at the top of Africa’s football money rankings!
