Ghana striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom scored for Elche as they drew 2-2 at Villarreal on Friday night in the Spanish Copa del Rey.

The 20-year-old gave the Elche the lead on 66 minutes after Sergio Pelegrin had levelled for the visitors on the hour mark.

Villarreal took the lead through Mexico star Giovani Dos Santos in the 22nd minute at the El Madrigal.

Boakye superbly headed home at the near post to give his side the lead and that carried them through to the end of regulation time.

But when all thought Elche were cruising for a win, Javier Aquino Carmona popped up with an injury time equalizer.

Boakye is on loan from Juventus and has now scored four goals in all competitions for Elche.

He was replaced by Sergio Mantecon in the 81st minute.
