Ribeiro was also in fine form in the period concerned with the Brazilian scoring  three goals. They came in the 3–0 win over Stellenbosch FC and a  brace in the final match of the season which was 2–0 victory over Magesi FC. 

His stellar performances earned him the accolade to edge out teammates Iqraam Rayners and Marcello Allende who also played a key role in Sundowns’ title run.
