Liga: Cédric Bakambu shines again with Betis!

A few days after his offensive recital in the European Cup, the star striker of the DRC Leopards, Cédric Bakambu, once again made an impression in La Liga.

The Congolese marksman was one of the key architects of Real Betis's spectacular comeback on the pitch of Leganés (2-3) this Sunday, during the 28th matchday. His entry into the game changed everything.

Cédric Bakambu, the hero!

Trailing 2-0 at halftime, the Sevillians returned from the locker room with a new determination. Barely on the pitch, "BakaGoal" provoked a decisive penalty, allowing his team to narrow the gap.

Fifteen minutes later, he turned into an opportunistic scorer by heading in a ball that rebounded off the crossbar, thus equalizing for his side in the 78th minute. Video:

A Leopard in top form

Already a double scorer in the Conference League this week, the former Villarreal fan favorite is proving he's in top form.

In La Liga, Cédric Bakambu now totals two goals and two assists this season. With this victory, Real Betis solidifies its 6th place with 44 points in 28 matches.

Promising signs for the Leopard, who will soon join the Congolese national team with sky-high confidence.
