Uche Hails Villarreal Mates After Narrow Win

Villareal striker, Ikechukwu Uche, has hailed his side’s 1-0 win over David Moyes’ Real Sociedad in the Spanish Cup round of 16 clash at the Estadio El Madrigal on Wednesday night.

The 31-year old was an unused substitute in the narrow win over David Moyes’ men, but didn’t fail to congratulate his teammates for securing the win over their rivals.

“Victoria importante y trabajada esta noche contra @RealSociedad en #CopaDelRey Enhorabuena

chicos! @VillarrealCF #EndavantVillarreal,” he tweeted in Spanish, which translates to English as “Good victory tonight against @RealSociedad Well done guys! @VillarrealCF #EndavantVillarreal #CopaDelRey.”

Uche looked on from the bench as Russian import, Denis Cheryshev scored what proved to be the winner after 71 minutes,almost ten minutes after being introduced.

And the former Real Zaragoza forward couldn’t hide his appreciation as he further tweeted: “Victoria importante y trabajada esta noche contra @RealSociedad en #CopaDelRey Enhorabuena chicos,” which means “Important and hard-fought victory tonight against RealSociedad in #CopaDelRey Congratulations guys” when translated to English.

The win for Villareal means they go into next week’s second leg with an advantage over Sociedad,who only over the weekend, defeated former European champions Barcelona 1-0 in the La Liga.

The Nigerian has scored six goals for the Yellow Submarines in all competitions this season, and will be expecting to play a part when they visit the San Sebastian for the return leg next Wednesday.
