Although Fidalgo replaced Miguel Layún at 69’, he didn’t have enough time to help Club América turn things around in the third straight game losing in Estadio Azteca in Clausura 2022, and even seemed mad at some of his teammates that looked tired and stopped running.

Although people couldn’t understand his absence, the apparition of Miguel Layún as defensive midfielder was the only thing that was more surprising, as he has never played on that position before and was out of shape as he was suspended for the last two games.
