Kelechi Iheanacho continued his impressive Copa del Rey form, scoring in Sevilla’s 3-1 victory over UE Olot in the second round on Thursday night.
The Nigerian forward, who had already netted twice in Sevilla’s 3-0 first-round win against Las Rozas, struck again in the 73rd minute, extending Sevilla’s lead to 3-0. Though the Spanish lower division side managed a late consolation goal in the 92nd minute, Sevilla’s dominant performance secured their passage to the next round.
Despite his strong performances in the Copa del Rey, Iheanacho is still searching for his first La Liga goal, having made seven league appearances since joining the Spanish club.
