Super Eagles forward, Samuel Chukwueze, showcased his goal-scoring prowess in Villarreal’s preseason campaign with a remarkable strike against Swiss Club St. Gallen.
However, despite Chukwueze’s efforts, the Spanish team was left stunned by a surprising 6-1 defeat at the AFG Arena on Saturday.
Chukwueze found the back of the net in the 30th minute, reducing the deficit to 2-1, before St. Gallen unleashed a relentless offensive onslaught, securing an emphatic victory.
The Swiss club’s attacking prowess was on full display as Witzig, von Moos, Geubbels, Schmidt, Görtler, and Karlen all contributed to the scoresheet.
Eager to recover from the heavy loss, Chukwueze and his teammates will seek redemption in their upcoming match against Austrian side Rheindorf Altach on Tuesday, July 18.
Villarreal has an exciting lineup of pre-season friendly games against formidable opponents such as Hannover, Feyenoord, Sporting Lisbon, Nice, and Premier League side Newcastle United.
The Yellow Submarines’ LaLiga journey will commence with a home game against Real Betis on July 13.
The talented 24-year-old winger, had a commendable performance last season, scoring six goals and providing five assists in 37 appearances.
With high hopes for the upcoming campaign, Chukwueze aims to build on his previous success and make an even greater impact on the field.
