Nigeria striker Ikechukwu Uche scored the opener in Villarreal's 2-1 win over Salzburg in their UEFA Europa League round 32 first leg tie on Thursday night.
And even though Villarreal struggled at times, El Submarino managed to get things done and sent their fans into raptures with a 2-1 win that puts them on the lead heading into the second leg.
The homers were on the offensive from the first whistle and were rewarded when Uche slammed in the opener.
Luciano Vietto had a great scoring opportunity inside the box but Gulacsi pushed the ball away. However, Uche was there to pounce on the rebound and his shot went into the back of the net to give the Spaniards the lead.
The first half ended 1-0 but it seemed as if Salzburg had enough in them to force the draw in the second half.
Jonathan Soriano equalized for the visitors three minutes into the second half from the penalty spot.
Denis Cheryshev grabbed the winner with an amazing finish from Luciano Dario Vietto's assist.
The second leg will be played next Thursday and Salzburg will host the game at the Red Bull Arena.
