Portsmouth beat Cardiff on Saturday in the 5e
day of the Championship, the second division of English football (2-0). A match which saw one of the players of the Welsh team completely slip up.
Passed by Arsenal, Krystian Bielik cracked in the 70the
minute, grabbing a young supporter of the opposing club by the throat while the latter took too long for his liking to return a ball that had reached the stand.
For having delivered a reflex slap to the Polish footballer, the boy was finally expelled from the stadium by security with his parents. The game was also stopped for a few minutes, in general confusion, without the slightest sanction for the 28-year-old defensive midfielder.
Afterwards, the Cardiff coach felt that his player was the victim of the story. “ The referee and his team handled the incident impeccably. Players often face unacceptable behavior “, he said. The English Football Association’s disciplinary committee may have a different opinion, however.
