Vitor Roque is beginning to get back on track in LaLiga EA Sports. The Brazilian striker is beginning to regain sensations under Manuel Pellegrini at Real Betis, where he has already made his debut as a goalscorer in his second match wearing the green and white shirt. In the match against Leganés corresponding to matchday 5 of the Spanish championship, the player came on the field in the 62nd minute to replace Diao, with the Chilean coach looking to break the zero on the scoreboard.

Although it was another former FC Barcelona player, Ez Abde, who opened the scoring, 'Tigrinho' would get his reward when the match was 'dying'. In the 86th minute, the Moroccan winger hooked in on the edge of the pepinera area, but his shot was blocked by the rival goalkeeper, Juan Soriano. However, thanks to the goal-scoring instinct that led him to be signed by the Blaugrana, Roque grabbed the rebound near the penalty spot, sending the ball into the back of the net and sentencing the match against the Madrid side (2-0).

Roque's goal of vindication

This goal confirms Vitor's 'sweet' moment. The Brazilian had just scored twice for the Brazilian under-20 team against Mexico, a match in which he also provided an assist. Despite not being an undisputed starter for the Andalusian team yet, with whom he has only played two matches coming off the bench, the forward is finding his best form and his goal against Leganés is another 'boost' to the confidence of a footballer who wants to show Barça that they made a mistake in letting him go.
