Fornals makes his debut as a scorer this season

Pablo Fornals He lived a very special although complicated night in San Mamés. The midfielder of Real Betis was in charge of opening the scoring against the Athletic Club. The Betician scored his first goal of this season with the green-and-white elastic and was able to dedicate it to his land. The man from Castellón celebrated the goal with a visibly excited face and wore a t-shirt in which he showed his support for the Valencians due to the terrible effects that the passage of DANA has left. Once the match was over, the player collapsed in front of the DAZN microphones since he is experiencing this situation very closely: “I’m sorry if I get emotional. With a lot of anger, we all have friends and acquaintances, we are close, we have friends helping there. “It was not a day to celebrate anything, neither football nor goals.”.

The one from Castellón de la Plana already knew what it was like to score with the Betic team. Since his arrival last season, the player played fifteen games in which he left a very good feeling. In addition, he managed to score three goals and give two assists. Results that led him to establish himself as one of Manuel Pellegrini’s undisputed footballers.

Although at the beginning of this season he was not having much prominence with his actions, in the last few games he has had good minutes. The Chilean coach has shown his confidence in him both in the twelve games of LaLiga that have been disputed to date as in Conference League. However, he had still not managed to bring joy to the Betis until he stepped foot in San Mamés. A cross from Assane from the right and his shot coming from outside the area managed to give the green and white team a very important point.

With Fornals’ goal, they are already six players who have scored this season in LaLiga. The list is headed by Lo Celso, followed by Vitor Roque, Chimy Ávila, Bartra and Abde.
