Real Betis Balompié kicked off their preseason with a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth at the La Cartuja Stadium in Seville. Colombian Juan Camilo 'Cucho' Hernández scored the team's first goal, capitalizing on a rebound from Isco's shot at the 56th minute. This goal is key for the forward, who aims to regain confidence after missing a penalty in the World Cup. The Andalusian side, which finished the 2025 season in fifth place with 46 points (11W-13D-7L), looks to improve their performance in the upcoming campaign, where they will return to the Champions League.
Juan Camilo 'Cucho' Hernández was the scorer of Real Betis' first goal in the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth. The Colombian took advantage of a rebound from Isco's shot that hit the right post and finished to make it 1-1 at the 56th minute. This goal is important for the forward, who seeks to gain confidence after missing a penalty against Switzerland in the World Cup.
Óscar Estupiñán, a 29-year-old Colombian forward, scored one of FC Juárez's goals in their 3-1 victory against Vancouver Whitecaps. The player from Cali received a through ball, controlled it, and finished precisely to beat the goalkeeper. This goal reinforces his good form in Mexican football.
Nelson Deossa, who also played in the friendly against Bournemouth, did not have as much impact as in previous matches. There are rumors that his future could be in the Premier League or in a Brazilian club. The Andalusian team, which finished the 2025 season with 45 goals scored and 38 conceded (+7 goal difference), aims to strengthen their squad for the upcoming campaign.
