Chiefs are set to appear before the PSL Disciplinary Committee on Wednesday‚ March 18.

However Chiefs were apparently charged on the Sunday after the match.
Chiefs are sure to face a stiff fine.
The National Soccer League (NSL) handbook’s rules 54.3.2 and 54.3.3 says a home club can be prosecuted where the spectators “irrespective of their affiliation‚ are responsible for improper conduct”.
Improper conduct includes “throwing or attempting to throw projectiles” and “damage or attempted damage to property”.
