Pole got into a fight in an English league match, picked up two cards in five minutes

Krystian Bielik is playing for Birmingham City for another season. The Pole has remained in the team, even though it has been relegated to the third tier. However, he has built up such a strong position that he is currently the captain of the Blues. However, in the last match he did not maintain the calm and composure required of a player wearing the armband. His behavior could have caused the team many problems.

Birmingham faced Wrexham in the League One clash – a club from Wales that is making headlines thanks to its owners. The team is managed by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who took the team to professional level and later to the third tier.

The match started better for the Welsh team, who took the lead in the third minute at St Andrew’s Stadium. Birmingham equalised in the 22nd minute, so the teams went into the break tied at 1-1. The second half proved crucial, with Jay Stansfield scoring the hosts’ second goal and Tomoki Iwata scoring the third in the 59th minute.

It seemed that the situation was under control, but towards the end of the match Bielik’s nerves gave way. First, he got into a scuffle with an opponent, and a few minutes later he made a sliding tackle into the opponent’s legs. The referee had to show him a yellow card twice in the space of five minutes, which resulted in a red card and the end of the match. However, his team maintained a 3-1 lead until the referee’s final whistle.
