Valencia, Spain – Villarreal CF brought joy to Lucena as they faced Ciudad de Lucena in the first round of the Copa del Rey. The match concluded with Villarreal winning convincingly, highlighted by a stellar performance from Tani Oluwaseyi, who scored a hat-trick.

The excitement began early when Oluwaseyi netted two goals in just two minutes, from the 15th to the 17th minute, effectively steering the match in Villarreal’s favor. His performance was a welcome boost for coach Marcelino, as the young forward had struggled to find his scoring touch in recent weeks.

Despite the one-sided scoreline, Ciudad de Lucena’s goalkeeper Froilán showcased remarkable skills, making numerous critical saves. He thwarted shots from Oluwaseyi, Ayoze, and Gueye, keeping the local squad in the game longer than expected. In one notable instance, Ayoze hit the crossbar with a shot from close range.

In the 44th minute, Joseliyo had the best chance for Ciudad de Lucena but missed a header from just yards away. Following the half-time break, Marcelino made tactical adjustments, bringing on key players Mikautadze and Comesaña, both of whom eventually found the net.

The match was further sealed when Ilias Akhomach scored in the 59th minute. Oluwaseyi’s third goal came in the 70th minute, where he again outpaced the Lucena defense to score with a crossed shot into the net.

As the match wound down, Ciudad de Lucena sought a goal but struggled to break through Villarreal’s defense. Diego Canty nearly scored with a long-range shot that hit the crossbar. However, Mikautadze and Comesaña did add to Villarreal’s tally, finishing the game with a score of 6-0.

The match showcased Villarreal’s attacking prowess and left Ciudad de Lucena eager for better performances in future competitions.
