Karl Etta Eyong Makes Dream Debut For Levante

Karl Etta Eyong couldn’t have dreamed of a better debut in La Liga. On Sunday, September 14, 2025, the 21-year-old striker made a lasting impression by scoring his very first goal with Levante UD against Real Betis in the 10th minute of the game.

This blockbuster start confirms his goal-scoring instinct. Etta Eyong joined Levante UD on September 1, 2025, signing a four-year deal after leaving Villarreal where he had scored one goal for the senior Yellow Submarines at the start of this season. Last term, he played with Villarreal B, where he had a promising season with 19 goals in 30 appearances in the Primera Federación.

Emotional Reaction

After the match, the center-forward didn’t hide his emotions: ” I have a lot of joy to have scored, and I hope this will be the first of many more. I gave everything… I want to congratulate my teammates because it wasn’t easy. Betis came with the ambition to win too, and we showed that at home, we are solid. We need to keep fighting, and this point is important.”

A Player Determined to Make His Mark

These words perfectly reflect the mindset of a player determined to quickly make his mark. His effectiveness from his first minutes illustrates not only his goal-scoring instinct but also his ability to rise to the occasion in decisive moments. During his time at Villarreal, Etta Eyong made his La Liga debut on April 20, 2025, in a 2-2 draw against Real Sociedad, and scored his maiden goal in a 1-0 win over Girona FC on May 10, 2025.

Teamwork and Solidarity

Beyond individual performance, Karl Etta Eyong emphasized the importance of teamwork. In a closely contested match against an ambitious Betis team, the striker highlighted the importance of solidarity and fighting spirit. This mentality was also reflected in his farewell message to Villarreal, where he expressed gratitude to the staff, teammates, and supporters for their support throughout the yearyears.

A Strong Signal for Levante

For Levante, this first goal by Etta Eyong is a strong signal: the club may have found in him a striker capable of energizing their offense and immediately impacting opposing defenses. With his impressive debut, Etta Eyong is poised to make a significant impact in La Liga, building on the success he experienced during his time at Villarreal.
