Berekum Chelsea and Heart of Lions today completed the cast for the quarter-final clashes of the MTN FA Cup.

Both premiership contenders chalked victories in their Round of 16 pairings.

Chelsea were 2-0 winners over Eleven Wise at the Gyandu Park on Thursday. Abdul Razak Egyir and Bismark Idan got the goals for Chelsea while Lions prevailed 4-3 via the penalty lottery over New Edubiase after drawing 1-1 in regulation in Kpando.

Victory for Lions means a date with Asante Kotoko in the last-eight pairings of the Cup competition at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Wa All Stars would host Medeama SC in Wa for a semi-final showdown in Accra/Kumasi against the winner of the Kotoko-Lions clash.

D'international, who caused the biggest upset in the last-16 stage, after edging out Berekum Arsenals, would take on Nania FC at the Tema Sports Stadium.

Chelsea's quest for a double this season appears on course on both fronts - League and FA Cup - as they travel to the Bolga Park to face off with local side, Bolga All Stars in the quarter-finals.

The winner of the D'international-Nania game would play either Chelsea or Bolga All Stars in the semis at the Baba Yara Stadium/Ohene Djan Stadium.
