Four clearances before halftime exit
Bijol recorded four clearances and one interception in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.
Analysis: Bijol started in Leeds' back three before being replaced at halftime as manager Daniel Farke altered his system with Leeds trailing 1-0, registering four clearances and one interception in 45 minutes as part of a defensive structure that was consistently tested by Brentford's dominant first-half performance. He was part of a Leeds defense that conceded Kevin Schade's 41st minute opener but had also limited Brentford to few other clear-cut chances across the opening period. Bijol has now started both of Leeds' opening Premier League matches and faces competition for a starting berth as the coach continues to balance defensive solidity with second-half tactical flexibility.
Two shots in clean sheet win
Bijol recorded two shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Bijol helped his side to a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest as the defender and his teammates have their first clean sheet of the season. The defender started 21 games last season and has come back into the starting lineup, where he played the full 90 minutes. He took two shots in the game, something he did four times last season.
