For the Ghost, they were unhappy with Masixole Bambiso's decisions on the day as their club sought to chase the game after going down 3-0.
The PSL DC has now confirmed – through prosecutor Zola Majavu – that Pirates have appeared before the League's DC.
"Orlando Pirates Football Club appeared before the PSL DC to answer to charges of spectator misbehaviour arising from a missile-throwing incident wherein the spectators threw an assortment of missiles directed at the match officials in their match against Magesi FC.
"Orlando Pirates FC pleaded guilty as charged and they were subsequently convicted accordingly.
"Having listened to the submissions regarding aggravation and mitigation of sanction and mindful of the fact that they pleaded guilty, and they appeared as first offenders, the PSL DC ruled as follows -
"They were fined a monetary amount of R100 000, of which half is suspended for a period of 12 months on condition that during the period of suspension, they are not found guilty of the same offence.

"If they were to re-offend, the suspended portion would become immediately effective as well as an additional sanction for the new offence.
"They were further ordered to carry the costs of the DC proceedings, which are usually administratively computed and added to the R50 000 fine, which is effective immediately," says Majavu.
