Vitor Roque scores his first goal with a Betis shirt

Brazilian striker scores the second goal in the 2-0 victory over Leganés, in La Liga; he hasn’t scored in an official club game since February

Striker Vitor Roque scored his first goal for Betis this Friday . It was at the end of the game against Leganés, in the 5th round of La Liga 2024/25 . Betis won the match played at home, at the Benito Villamarín Stadium, by 2-0.

Betis’ first goal came in the 28th minute of the second half. A play from the right, in which the full-back and captain Bellerín invaded the area and touched the ball back. Number 10 Abde Ezzalzouli arrived quickly at the ball and finished.

Abde Ezzalzouli also had a hand in the second goal, which came in the 41st minute of the second half. He advanced to the edge of the Leganés penalty area and struck a well-placed shot, aiming for the corner.

The goalkeeper gave a rebound, and Vitor Roque showed a quick reaction: he took advantage and threw himself at the ball. His first goal since February 3rd of this year, when he scored in Barcelona ‘s 3-1 victory over Alavés.

Barça spent practically the entire last transfer window trying to negotiate a deal with Vitor Roque, who failed to gain a place in the squad even after the arrival of coach Hansi Flick. In the end, he ended up being loaned to Betis until the end of the current season.

He has already played twice for Betis: the first against Real Madrid , and the second this Friday, against Leganés.

Vitor Roque was one of the standout players in the Brazilian national team’s victory over Mexico last Sunday, in a friendly match played at São Januário. He was the main name in this call-up.
