Bacca kick-starts Villarreal's season against Betis

Before Sunday night's fixture at the Estadio de le Ceramica, Villarreal had yet to find the target in LaLiga, but nerves were settled once Carlos Bacca fired home on 32 minutes, helping the Yellow Submarine to go on and record a 3-1 win.

Sergio Leon had given the visitors an early lead but the Colombian took advantage of a defensive mix up, and the relief both on the pitch and in the stands was palpable.

What looked to be a difficult game on paper, was anything but once Bacca had found the net and Rodrigo Hernandez could've had the hosts ahead before half time, his effort coming back off of the woodwork.

Samu Castellejo put Villarreal into the lead just after the hour, and Enes Unal made the game safe with 13 left to play.
