The Premier Soccer League has confirmed the match details for the highly anticipated MTN8 semi-final fixtures.
The new season kicked off with the MTN8 clash last weekend and four clubs booked a spot in the semis and the draw saw defending champions Orlando Pirates being drawn to face Mamelodi Sundowns in what is expected to be an epic two-legged encounter.

The first leg clash is set to be played at Orlando Stadium at 15h00 on 16 August, with the possibility of another sold out encounter at the venue. Pirates supporters packed Orlando Stadium when the Soweto giants hosted Polokwane City in the quarter-finals and tickets are likely to sell out faster for the clash against Sundowns, who comfortably brushed aside Richards Bay in the last eight clash.
In the other semi-final, Stellenbosch FC will host Sekhukhune United at Danie Craven Stadium, on the same day at 18h00. Stellies came from behind to boot AmaZulu out of the competition, and it was the same for Sekhukhune as they had the tenacity to come back from two goals down to send TS Galaxy packing.
