DStv Premiership side, Kaizer Chiefs, could be heavily fined following fan misconduct after the Soweto derby defeat to Orlando Pirates at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, March 9.

Kaizer Chiefs suffered another blow to their already turbulent season after losing to arch-rivals Orlando Pirates in the DStv Premiership.

The highly anticipated match played at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, March 9, saw the Buccaneers stage a remarkable comeback, overcoming a two-goal deficit twice to secure a 3-2 victory.

Amidst the electrifying atmosphere, Monnapule Saleng emerged as the hero for Jose Riveiro's side, delivering two crucial goals.

However, the match's aftermath was marred by unrest among the Chiefs supporters, who expressed frustration by hurling objects at the players and technical staff.

The chaotic fan behaviour could lead to severe consequences for the club, including a R300,000 fine, with the possibility of their next home match against Stellenbosch being played behind closed doors.

The matter now rests with the PSL Disciplinary Committee, which will convene to review the incident and determine appropriate sanctions.

When questioned about the post-match chaos, Glamour Boys head coach, Cavin Johnson, initially downplayed the severity of the situation but later acknowledged the unsettling scenes.

“Maybe I saw one bottle or two. I did see the police. I don’t know who they were protecting, me or the players. Don't throw stones guys, it doesn’t work,” he said, as quoted by Independent Online.
