Zaragoza striker Ikechukwu Uche was reduced to tears Wednesday after scoring his first goal since returning from a serious knee injury to give his team a 2-1 win over Athletic Bilbao.
The Nigeria striker raced free into Athletic Bilbao's area before beating goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz with a curling shot inside the near post for the winner in the 55th minute.
After being mobbed by teammates, Uche picked himself up off the ground with tears streaming down his face after his first goal since May 2009.
It was Uche's first start - and third appearance - since undergoing an operation in August. Uche tore ligaments in the same left knee he had previously injured which forced him to miss most of the previous season, including the World Cup.
