Sevilla manager Garcia Pimienta has showered praise on Chidera Ejuke after the winger’s stunning performance secured a 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena on Sunday night.
Ejuke’s Decisive Goal Seals the Win
The 27-year-old Nigerian forward delivered the match-winning strike in the 47th minute, capitalizing on an assist from captain Saul to give Los Rojiblancos a crucial three points.
This was Ejuke’s second goal of the season since joining Sevilla from Royal Antwerp, and it proved vital in a hard-fought contest.
Pimienta Applauds Ejuke’s Performance
Speaking to Sevilla’s official website, Pimienta hailed Ejuke’s resilience and impact following his return from a long injury spell:
“When he got injured, he was in great form. He was practically out for three months, which made it difficult to regain full fitness.”
“Now, his opportunity has come, and he delivered brilliantly. He also contributed defensively, which was important for the team. We are very happy for him.”
With this win, Sevilla inches closer to European qualification spots, and Ejuke’s return to form will be a major boost for the team.
