Kaizer Chiefs have seen their Carling Knockout quarter-final match against Siwelele FC moved again.

Chiefs are set to host Siwelele FC in the last eight as they seek to make it to the semi-finals and after their game was moved from Friday to Sunday, there are changes again.

Amakhosi, who were to play at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday November 8 from 15:00, have now seen the kick off time changed.

Why Chiefs game has been rescheduled  

The game will still be played on Sunday at the same venue but from 18:00 after the PSL opted to switch the kick off time to avoid clashing with the CAF Super Cup game pitting Mamelodi Sundowns and Algerian side USM Alger, whose game will begin at 15:00 at Loftus Versfeld.

“The adjustment has been made in consideration of Sunday’s CAF Super Cup fixture involving Mamelodi Sundowns,” the PSL stated through a statement.

“Consequently, both Carling Knockout Cup quarter-final matches for Sunday will kick off at 18:00. The PSL wishes Mamelodi Sundowns all the best as they compete for CAF Super Cup honours and extends its best wishes to all eight teams competing in the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-finals.”
