Chukwueze Assist In Villarreal Win

Super Eagles winger, Samuel Chukwueze recorded an assist for his Spanish club Villarreal in their 2-0 win over Real Valladolid.

Villarreal had to be patient to beat Real Valladolid at the Estadio de la Cerámica. The Submarine got heir second league win in a row thanks to goals from Santi Cazorla (from the penalty spot) and Javi Ontiveros, who got his first for the club, and also was the man who won the penalty before the No.8’s goal.

Javi Calleja lined up with the same shape that worked so well against Leganés, a 4-1-4-1. The only change was Rubén Peña at right-back. In the second half, the head coach changed system to play with two up front in a 4-42.

Calleja looked to the bench in the second half when they were not finding the openings bringing on Samu Chukwueze and Ontiveros. It was the latter, who with his first few touches, won the penalty that would make it 1-0. Cazorla stepped up from the spot to fire home

Villarreal nearly went further ahead after 85 minutes. Peña’s powerful effort from the edge of the box was only centimetres away from being a goal, hitting Masip’s left post.

The 2-0 was a work of art between two substitutes, Chukwueze and Ontiveros. The Nigerian received the ball from André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, crossed to the back post, with the Spaniard classily heading the ball into the back of the net.

Next up for Villarreal is a game against FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Tuesday.
