The Nedbank Cup quarterfinal draw threw up some interesting match-ups when it was held at Southgate Mall in Johannesburg on Monday.
SuperSport United, the most successful team in the competition's history still alive, were handed a home fixture against National First Division (NFD) leaders Lamontville Golden Arrows.
Matsatsantsa, who have won the tournament three times previously, dumped out the reigning champions Orlando Pirates 1-0 over the weekend, while Abafana Bes'thende ousted lower division side Natal United by the same scoreline.
Arrows were one of three NFD teams still standing after the last 16 and the other two, Black Leopards and Vasco Da Gama will meet in one of the other quarterfinals.
Lidoda Duvha famously beat Amakhosi 2-1 in their weekend fixture -- the biggest upset of the last round. Vasco, meanwhile, thumped Maluti FET College 3-0 in their all-NFD affair.
The remaining two fixtures involve just Absa Premiership clubs with Mamelodi Sundowns, arguably the biggest team still standing in the competition, drawn to face Mpumalanga Black Aces away from home.
The Brazilians, also three-time past winners, beat Platinum Stars 3-1 in the last round and AmaZayoni overcame Jomo Cosmos 1-0.
Finally, last season's runners-up Bidvest Wits will meet Ajax Cape Town in the last eight after crushing University of Pretoria 3-0 to seal their progress.
The Urban Warriors will be at home, though, just as they were for the 1-0 win over Bloemfontein Celtic in the last round.
The quarterfinal matches are scheduled to be played on April 11 and 12.
