Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze came off the bench to score as Villarreal defeated Borrusia Dortmund 2-0 in a pre-season friendly on Friday.
The 23-year-old who missed the opening two pre-season matches, was introduced in the 60th minute to help the Yellow Submarines win the day.
Heading into the fixture, Chukwueze had missed the 1-1 draw against Sporting at Estadio Algarve and the 2-1 win against PSV Eindhoven at Philips Stadion.
Villarreal opened scoring in the 45th minute when Gerrard Moreno scored from a left-footed effort which beat keeper Alexander Meyer.
Coach Unai Emery’s men continued to attack Dortmund but they had to wait until the 67th minute to double their lead.
Chukwueze was introduced in the 60th minute and with only seven minutes on the pitch, he scored the second after finishing off a cross from Etienne Capoue.
Villarreal will next face Reims at Stade Auguste-Delaune II on Sunday, before they travel to England to face Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium on June 30.
