Mamelodi Sundowns could have escaped punishment from the PSL DC following a pitch invasion and a breaking of fences at Danie Craven Stadium.
Following Sundowns' 2-1 win over Stellies in the Nedbank Cup semi-finals almost two weeks ago, there was a pitch invasion and the breaking of fences by supporters at Stellenbosch's fortress.
The Western Cape side were quick to announce early this week that their DStv Premiership encounter against the Brazilians on Saturday has been moved to Athlone Stadium, though did not provide reasons behind the alteration.

Danie Craven could not hold the 12 000-capacity crowd that descended for the cup clash, which resulted in fences being broken and supporters invading the pitch.
KickOff reported on Thursday that the Brazilians and the League could have been liable for the unfortunate incident following a similar case that involved Kaizer Chiefs two seasons ago.
Amakhosi were charged and fined R200,000 following a pitch invasion and breaking of fences by their fans at the same stadium in their penalty shootout win over Stellenbosch in the MTN8 quarter-finals.
In that particular ruling, the League was also fined and charged for not providing adequate security.
However, with the PSL season drawing to a close in two weeks, PSL prosecutor Zola Majavu has confirmed that he does not have any pending case after the Disciplinary Committee ruled on Upington City's protest against Milford regarding the latter not adhering to the U23 rule.
Their case was dismissed with costs after the DC found that City's protest was without merit.
"I also wish to take this opportunity to confirm to the footballing community out there that as at close of business today (Thursday), I, as the prosecutor of the League, had not yet received any other protest or complaints that are yet to be processed," Majavu said in an audio statement addressed to the media.
"However, should such be the case, I can confirm without doubt that the judicial bodies of the League are in a state of readiness to deal with those protests or complaints expeditiously to ensure that the finalization of the 2023/24 season is not imperiled or otherwise delayed or marred with some controversy.

"We do so while fully respecting the rights of any member who may wish to have their dispute litigated in accordance with the rules. So far, there is absolutely no reason why the season will not draw to an end on time and without any issues," Majavu assured.
