They were also charged for a chant in the 80th minute of the match but denied this and an independent regulatory commission was unable to prove the charge.
This is the third breach by the Championship club in the past three years and they also had an action plan previously imposed on them extended by another season to the end of 2026-27.
“This chant goes against everything the club stands for and is wholeheartedly condemned,” a Millwall statement stated.
“The club has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of discriminatory abuse; such behaviour has no place in society. Any individual identified as engaging in such abuse will be banned.”
