WHAT NEXT?
Pirates already had two games in hand, and after Wednesday's decision, it means they are behind by three games.
While it is an extra day to rest, coach Jose Riveiro hopes it will not come back to haunt him and his Pirates side later.
With Nedbank Cup and Caf Champions League matches coming, fatigue might affect the players.
