Sevilla manager Garcia Pimienta was pleased with Kelechi Iheanacho’s display in the club’s Copa del Rey win over Las Rozas.
The Rojiblancos defeated their Third Division opponent 3-0.
Iheanacho bagged a brace in the game to end his goal drought for Sevilla.

“I’ve been a player, I’ve played these games and I know how difficult it is. The Third Division opponent comes out with all their strength, the First Division opponent finds it harder to adapt and no matter how much emphasis we put on them, they haven’t played for a long time,” Pimienta told the club’s official website.
“In the first half he played very little and in the second we had the necessary success in the forwards. He’s training well, he’s played 90 minutes, we’re happy with his goal and he’s going to continue improving.”
The 28-year-old joined Sevilla on a free transfer this summer after severing ties with Leicester City.
