For the second time in as many legs, Jozy Altidore got on the scoresheet for Villarreal in the Copa del Rey.
Altidore scored the Yellow Submarine's lone goal in a 1-1 draw with Club Polideportivo Ejido in the first leg of their fourth-round tie. On Wednesday, Altidore tallied again, scoring an insurance goal in the 90th minute to ice the second-leg victory.
Altidore started and went the distance in the 2-0 result. Villarreal advanced on aggregate, 3-1, and moves to the Round of 16.
Highlights of Villarreal's victory are after the jump:

What do you think of Altidore scoring again? Hoping he gets a call up and a start in the friendly against South Africa to keep building on the momentum?
Share your thoughts below.
Who is negative? Only 2 posts here at all negative.
I love how every time Jozy does something people feel compelled to defend him from the “haters”…who seem mostly to exist in people’s heads.
besides the typos, what makes you think i’m drunk?
I’m glad you told him to do that. I’m sure he was just going to sit on them so that no one else can see them. Now he has to let us see too
Come home Josy…you can only score on 3rd Division teams in Spain…come home and be the big fish in the little pound!!!!
There you go Kawa!!!!!
Why are people so negative ? Gratz Altidore on scoring. There are not many other Americans getting first team action and scoring in europe.
Anyone watch the whole game to rate his performance?
Regardless, great for Jozy.
i love how some ppl have already written off a guy who just turned 21. He’s still younger than most MLS rookies
Whoa! That is bad video. Nevertheless thanks for posting, and from what it looks like that was hardly a tap in. He gets a great pass cuts back and puts it on goal against 3 defenders and an onrushing keeper. Calm, patient finishing, the kid is learning.
That’s the goal from the first leg.
dagnabbit..wrong game!

bad video but not a bad goal by Josy!!!
I think this goes way beyond drunk.
Aluminum-silver amalgam? Any other chemistry nerds out there?
“I should also mention that the ball needs to travel through” time and also score on Casillas during his last stint in the same net, or it doesn’t count.
Sorry! I thought I found the highlights, but the video was taken down.

I guess you are one of those easy to please Jozy followers, well this should serve u pretty nice.
+ 27
Nincompoop.
its crazy how people are hating on Jozy scoring against lower division teams on spain while the Applaud Benny tearing it up in the 2 division of a far inferior league and football culture smh
I think he means “Benedict Rossi that’s going to head to Juve soon so it doesn’t matter how many La Liga goals he scores”
+1 sarcastic points are cool
I was following the Marca match tracker thing through google translate. It described the goal as Ruben putting it “on a platter” for Altidore. Sounds like it wasn’t as impressive as the last one. He also scored a goal that was disallowed for offsides. Not much to really go on, but we do know he went 90 minutes and scored a goal for a great Spanish team. That’s good news.
YEAHH!!! JOZYY, wow, u are making it!!, pfff!!!, Im not a believer, give me something better than two goals, come on he’s a striker, we should be used to this performances.
BCC, you made my day with that one. Not quite laughing out loud but a solid chuckle. Well played.
when you move out your mom’s basement, maybe we’ll care.
Jozy to haters, Chupenlo y que lo sigan chupando! I believe!
When he scores the game-winner in the Champions League final, then I’ll be impressed. And it has to be in a major hailstorm with high winds. Oh, and Maicon and Chicharito have to be holding on to both of his legs when he kicks the ball into the net. I should also mention that the ball needs to travel through the goaltender’s mid-section and light the netting on fire.
Seriously, any goal in Spain is a quality goal.
clips, clips, clips!!! Or at least a description of the goals. Por favore.
+1, i need video too.
+1, love this
Are you drunk?
An American striker scored a goal. Obviously the latest sign that the apocalypse is upon us…
ridiculous comment
Real Madrid dropped out the comp over the last two season due to lossed from lower devision teams. This is spain mate not USL.
when he scores against a legitimate team, maybe i’ll care.
lol you crack me up
where are all the come home haters at ? Keep doing your think Jozy you are only 20 and will probably be out only legit Striker since McHead. Agudelo is quite the talent but i think he will mature into a number 10 or second forward not a striker.
3rd not 2nd sorry
just found out this team is like spanish 2rd division
You mean the 3rd leading goal scorer in la liga Rossi? That’d be a good move by the Yellow Sub. Rossi is playing like a beast!
Ives… please post the highlights when you get them 😉
It’s a great start for him. I think he’s fine in the Copa. Supersub and occasional start in La Liga are just part of his repertoire nowadays. Also Europa League.
I’m going back and forth on whether he should play next week. Don’t want to see him get injured. Agudelo-Altidore would be great to see. Let’s unleash the Al-Ag!
i need video evidence
Agreed, he is taking the steps to get there. I have high hopes for him.
He’s working his way up with minutes in the cup and europa league…he’s got some damn good strikers ahead of him for la liga minutes. The chances will come!
Wish he would just get more minutes in La Liga instead.
I disagree. I say “Yeah, Altidore”.
Keep it up Jozy, hopefully you’ll be able to oust that Benedict Rossi from the everyday 11 soon enough!
Yay Altidore.
