Portsmouth and Cardiff City
5 September 2026
Portsmouth have apologised to Cardiff City after two home supporters were ejected following separate confrontations with visiting players during Portsmouth’s 2-0 Championship win. Cardiff said defender Krystian Bielik was struck while retrieving the ball from the stands.
Clips appeared to show Bielik grabbing a young fan during the altercation, while another supporter later threw a ball at Perry Ng’s head. The Football Association is aware of the incident and will review the referee’s report before deciding action.
