WATCH: Vitor Roque scores first goal for Real Betis after Barcelona move

Barcelona loanee Vitor Roque scored his first goal for Real Betis on Friday night in a 2-0 La Liga win against Leganes.

The Brazilian moved to Betis on loan in the summer transfer window after a pretty miserable time at Barcelona but is looking a lot happier now.

Vitor Roque managed to put the ball in the back of the net after Juan Soriano could only parry a shot straight into his path and looked thrilled to have opened his account with the club.

It’s just the start to life at Betis that Vitor Roque needed and came after he scored a couple of goals for Brazil’s Under-20s over the international break.

Barcelona are hoping that Vitor Roque can shine at Betis, with Deco talking about the transfer this week.

“A good loan. A player who has spent six very difficult months. It’s not easy, as it is for all young players who come to a big club like Barcelona,” he said. “The idea has always been to give him minutes and the opportunity of Betis is very good to see him play.”

The loan deal does include an option for another year as well as a buy option.
