Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze was on target for Villarreal, who were hammered 6-1 by Swiss club St. Gallen in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.
It was Villarreal’s first game of pre-season as they prepare for the new campaign.
Chukwueze scored in the 30th minute to make it 2-1 before St. Gallen four more goals to complete the rout.
