The pint-sized forward profited from an abysmal defending from the visitors to beat onrushing goalkeeper Tomeu Nadal.

Omar Perdomo got the curtain raiser in the 11th minutes of the game with Chile international, Juan Delgado increasing the lead nine minutes later.

Roman Zozulya reduced the deficit for Jose Aira’s side in the 25th minute before Uche sealed victory for his side with an audacious strike.
