Soweto derby confirmed! Kaizer Chiefs to face Orlando Pirates in Nedbank Cup SF

South African football fans got the news they were hoping for on Sunday as it was confirmed that Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will meet in the semi-finals of this season's Nedbank Cup. 

The Premier Soccer League confirmed the draw for the last four just minutes after Chiefs had beaten Royal AM 2-1 in their quarter-final in Chatsworth, Durban. 

In the other semi-final, Stellenbosch will take on Sekhukhune United. 

Dates and venues are yet to be confirmed. 

Chiefs, on the hunt for silverware with Mamelodi Sundowns having won the league title, had slipped to a 1-0 lead on Sunday but hit back in the 36th minute thanks to a Thabo Matlaba own goal. 

With the scores locked at 1-1 after 90 minutes, the match headed into extra-time and looked to be going towards penalties before Yusuf Maart slotted a 102nd-minute penalty. 

Pirates, meanwhile, needed a penalty shootout to get past underdogs Dondol Stars in their quarter-final on Saturday while Stellenbosch landed the upset of the weekend by beating Sundowns 2-1 in their quarter-final.
