A ball goes into the stand, with the fan seen holding it then chucking it over the Bluebirds players’ head, to which the pushes the fan the neck.
The fan stands up and then reaches out, giving what looks to be a slapped in the face. The fan and his family is then reportedly moved from the stadium with Bielik receiving no card.

Portsmouth News writer Jordan Cross (@pn_jordan_cross) tweeted: “Controversy and play stopped as Bielik appears to grab a fan in the South Stand #Pompey.
“The ball is then thrown from the stand and hits [Perry] Ng [in the back of his head].
“Play continues after conversations between the officials and staff.”
Here’s how social media users reacted after a video emerges of Cardiff’s Krystian Bielik who gets slapped by a young Portsmouth fan he grabbed the throat of down in the South Stand…
@pompeyrod: Cardiff’s Bielik grabbed a young Pompey fan by the neck and the kid rightly slapped him back, the kid was ejected from the ground with no punishment for Bielik, I think a retrospective 6 match ban from the EFL is needed, and a club apology to the young fan
@Steve_pfc1898: The young lad threw the ball over Bielik when he went to take the throw in, he appeared to grab the lad. Another lad then picked a ball up and threw it at another Cardiff players head… Both lads escorted out
@SJRichards79: It’s embarrassing. The kid didn’t do anything, just chucked the ball over his head. Standard fan behaviour
@TomasTaylor4: What a fucking moron Bielik is. Championship honeymoon period well and truly over, if you can call 3 draws a honeymoon period
@thebenprice: Honestly it’s worse than I thought. Beilik is very lucky not to be sent off. He’s a senior pro and there is no need at all to get involved
@WelshBluebird26: Why’s he putting his hands on him like, piss poor behaviour
@bucklandbear: Bielik should’ve seen red for whole interaction. Witless officiating as per usual and I wonder what the steward’s report to the refs was… #Pompey
@vickylamb_: The kid throws the ball away, another picks it up and throws at a player. Meantime the first kid gets grabbed by the throat and he reacts to it slapping him back
@george_s19: The young lads gets kicked out for throwing the ball away but the Cardiff player doesn’t get sent off for grabbing him by the throat… 🤦♂️
@JoePaice92: @EFL are you going to allow this. Surley a 6 match ban incoming. You can’t react like that regardless of the situation. Strangling a young lad is unacceptable #pompey
@RichieHolland24: Not on from a professional footballer @EFL
@pnefc33: “the championship has no crazy bastards now osmajic left”…. Krystian Bielik: “ hold my beer”…
@connorccfc26: Ban incoming, back to playing fullbacks at cb
@StassSportsNews: Im sorry but how has their player not been sent off for grabbing a KID’S neck!? He only threw the ball away from him! Unbelievable how that’s resulted in the kid being thrown out! #Pompey
@DinlosofFP: I hope the Bielik gets some punishment for this. You cannot do this just for not giving him the ball!
@joe_d_robins: Bielik shouldn’t be doing it, he has to be setting a better example than that and deserves a retrospective punishment. However, if you’re gunna be a dick and through the ball away in front of someone’s face, don’t cry when they retaliate.
@BrownSlices: Amazed that the kid got thrown out here and not Bielik, he should be banned for the season
@LDC_9814: Say what you like but I’d be surprised if Bielik escapes a ban for that. Defence will become even more fragile than it already is which is extremely worrying
@Thomas42826555: Bielik genuinely what are you doing
@Titchyeah89: Unsurprisingly some fucking abysmal officiating where a teenager has been kicked out of the crowd but the player that assaulted him faces no punishment @EFL is a fucking joke #pompey
