At dawn on Tuesday, the La Liga was transformed as Sporting Madrid beat the "Yellow Submarine" Villarreal by a thrilling 2-1 score. Wessel sealed the victory with a precise shot. The 35 year old veteran has scored very few goals this season, but his goal against Villarreal was certainly a fatal blow to the opponents, and he is known as the "Submarine Killer". After this match, Sporting Madrid regained the 4th place in the league with a 2-point advantage over Athletic Bilbao.
Sporting Madrid had previously suffered two consecutive losses in the league and were in a precarious situation. However, in the ninth minute of the match, Wiesel opened the scoring with a corner kick. The "Explosive Head" player, who made his debut in the Chinese Super League, moved from Borussia Dortmund to Sporting Madrid in the summer of 2022, where he transitioned from defensive midfielder to center back. His performances have been impressive, and he was even named March's Player of the Month.
At the break, Villarreal equalized with a goal from striker Aleksandr Solov. In the 87th minute of play, Sporting Madrid substitute Shaun Nichols made it 2-1 again with a deft shot from midfield.It's worth noting that Sporting Madrid has now scored 11 goals from substitutes in the league this season, tying them with Barcelona for the most goals scored by a reserve player.
