Ikechukwu Uche scored Villareal’s second goal in Sunday’s 2-1 win over rivals Real Sociedad.
The Super Eagles striker converted a close range effort on 70 minutes from a Giovani Dos Santos assist, after the World Cup-bound Mexican had gifted the ‘Yellow Sub-marine’ the opener on 26 minutes.
Uche, who was not named in Nigeria 30-man provisional World Cup squad, scored 14 league goals in the 2013/14 La Liga season.
Coach Marcelino Garcia Toral’s side went into the final game of the season three points behind Sociedad, but succeeded in edging their opponents to a sixth-place finish courtesy of a better head-to-head record.
Carlos Vela scored Sociedad’s consolation deep into the regulation time.
