Álvaro Fidalgo added his second without seeing action in Betis' tie at the home of Real Sociedad, while Edson Álvarez was not called up by Fenerbahçe
Álvaro Fidalgo, player for the Mexico national team, did not have minutes with Real Betis, bad news for the Tricolor, which requires their players with rhythm for the World Cup which is around the corner and that generates a strong blow in the plans of coach Vasco Aguirre.
Fidalgo had a very promising start with the Sevillian team, but in the last two games he hasn't seen action in any minute cont ra Real Oviedo and Real Sociedad directed by Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, who has opted for other players in his starting eleven.
The Mexican midfielder had at the beginning of his arrival to Spain a start with 6 consecutive starts, but coach Manuel Pellegrini stopped using him constantly since mid-March 2026, which plays against his World Cup aspirations after he arrived from America from Mexico and has made 17 games in LaLiga.
Betis adjusted the 1-1 tie in their recent match this Saturday in San Sebastián, where Pellegrino left on the bench Fidalgo in a match was very even. In the first half, Real Sociedad achieved two arrivals, one of them with direction to the goal, adding 68 percent possession, while the visitor team added a shot with more effectiveness by achieving the goal of the Brazilian Antony at the end of the first half, which made the match more interesting.
Betis increased the advantage with a goal by Abde Ezzalzouli that surprised everyone with a great action that ended being the se second both from Betis, but without turning to see the Mexican Álvaro Fidalgo, who remained on the bench in the 90 minutes .Real Sociedad insisted after being two goals down and in a cross by Sergio Gómez from the left wing in the half At height, Orri Steinn Óskarsson scored the goal of the Royal Society at the 80th minute, giving tones of dramatism to the match.
The hecatomb for Betis came due to a hand within the area where the historical 10 of Real Sociedad, Mikel Oyarzabal, had the opportunity to collect e the penalty and thus snatching the victory from Betis, leaving in the air the doubt of whether Fidalgo will be summoned to the World Cup, above all without minutes on the field.
