The draw took place at Peter Mokaba Stadium after the match. Sundowns were drawn at home to Chiefs, while Stellenbosch FC will host defending champions Orlando Pirates.
Chiefs had to recover from an early setback to get there. Brandon Petersen kept out Sphesihle Jeza inside six minutes, but Siwelele took the lead when Siyabonga Ndebele rose to head in a corner.
Amakhosi had two chances to equalise from the penalty spot before half-time. Mduduzi Shabalala sent the first over the bar after Vincent Pule fouled Mfundo Vilakazi. Shabalala then won the second when Ndebele brought him down in first-half stoppage time. Wandile Duba took that penalty and beat Jody February to make it 1–1 at the break.
Velebayi replaced Shabalala in the second half and broke the deadlock with a low finish past February. Siwelele still had a chance to force extra time, but Zakhele Lepasa fired just wide in the final minute of regulation.
Sundowns reached the last four with a 1–0 win over Golden Arrows. Pirates beat Sekhukhune United by the same scoreline, while Stellenbosch secured their place with a 2–1 victory over AmaZulu
