The game against Hércules was his 12th appearence for the club, eight in LaLiga, two in the Champions League and the other one in the Copa del Rey. In those 791 minutes, he did not manage to score despite being brought in to do exactly that.

The goal came in the 72nd minute and the celebration was as you might expect from a player who had waited so long for his opening goal and with all the pressure in the world off his shoulders. What a relief..
