Following the fireworks in their Betway Premiership match earlier this season, Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns will again lock horns after they were drawn to face each other in the quarter-finals of the Carling Knockout Cup.
Both Chiefs and Sundowns had a rather easy passage into the last eight, with Amakhosi running out comfortable 4-0 winners over 10 men SuperSport United, while Sundowns blew Golden Arrows off the park in a clinical 5-0 win.
The previous meeting between the two teams was filled with drama and controversy, as defending league champions Sundowns ran out 2-1 winners on the day at the FNB Stadium.
Chiefs were unseeded when the draw was conducted, because they finished outside of the top eight last season. This is why they ended up being drawn with Sundowns in the next round.
