Sundowns will travel to Durban to face Golden Arrows in the other semifinal‚ which keeps the possibility alive of a Chiefs-Sundowns decider in December.
Chiefs claimed a Soweto derby victory over Orlando Pirates on Saturday to book their Last 4 place and will meet Maritzburg for the first time this season‚ having claimed a 1-0 home win the last time they met in March.
Sundowns booked their semi-final place against 10-man Chippa on Sunday as they claimed a 4-3 penalty shoot-out victory after an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth. It was the third quarterfinal of the weekend to go to spot-kicks as Chippa midfielder William Twala saw his effort saved by the returning Denis Onyango in the Sundowns goal‚ and Lehlogonolo Masalesa missed the target altogether.
Minutes later Sirino’s deflected shot struck the post as the visitors finished the half the stronger‚ but without reward.
