Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns' rivalry is not a thing of yesterday. It goes a long way back in the day. With the much-anticipated encounter on Saturday evening, we take a look at the best starting XI of the two sides that played against each other.
Amakhosi and Masandawana locked in a Rothmans Cup final, which is now known as Telkom Knockout Cup, in 1997. The game was electrifying and intense, and went to penalties, where the Soweto giants won 3-2 and ended up the champions of the competition. The initial score was 1-1.
