Supersub Bakambu leads Villarreal to Uefa Europa League Round of 32

Cedric Bakambu came off the bench to outshine Astana duo of Junior Kabananga and Patrick Twumasi as his brace ensured Sevilla grab an away 3-2 in Thursday’s Uefa Europa League encounter.

The DR Congo striker delivered a superb 30-minute performance at the Astana Arena to seal the Yellow Marines’ passage to the next stage of the European club second-tier competition.

Compatriot, Kabananga got the curtain raiser for the hosts with a stunning left-footed shot - from outside the box - that sailed over Mariano Barbosa in the 22nd minute.

Shortly before the interval, Daniel Raba levelled matters for the Spanish visitors to end the first half 1-1.
