Copa del Rey

Villarreal beat Manacor 5–0; see who scored each goal

LALIGA’s match record credits Nicolas Pépé with the fifth goal, resolving a conflict in an early report.

Villarreal beat Manacor 5–0 on October 27, 2026, and advanced to the second round of the Copa del Rey. Alassane Diatta, Tani Oluwaseyi, Sergi Cardona, Nizar and Nicolas Pépé scored. The direct answer to the post-match question is: Pépé scored the fifth goal in the 68th minute, assisted by Nizar, according to LALIGA’s match page and play-by-play record.

Manacor 0–5 Villarreal: all five goals

The official scoring sequence was:

| Minute | Scorer | Assist |

|---|---|---|

| 13 | Alassane Diatta | Alberto Moleiro |

| 26 | Tani Oluwaseyi | Nizar |

| 47 | Sergi Cardona | Tani Oluwaseyi |

| 55 | Nizar | Alassane Diatta |

| 68 | Nicolas Pépé | Nizar |

Diatta opened the scoring with a left-footed finish following a corner. Oluwaseyi doubled the lead before halftime by converting Nizar’s pass. Villarreal therefore went into the break 2–0 ahead.

Villarreal settled the tie after halftime

Sergi Cardona scored the third in the 47th minute after a through ball from Oluwaseyi. The fourth followed in the 55th: Nizar finished low at the end of a counterattack, with Diatta credited for the assist.

The local match report from Última Hora describes Manacor trying to respond but records that the visitors remained in control. The fifth goal came from an exchange between Nizar and Pépé, completed by the Ivory Coast player.

Who scored the fifth goal?

LALIGA’s record provides the clearest answer: Nicolas Pépé scored in the 68th minute. The play is listed as a close-range left-footed finish following an assist from Nizar. Última Hora confirms the same scorer and also describes the combination between the two players.

The uncertainty arose because Cadena SER’s round-up credited the final goal to Oluwaseyi, again in combination with Nizar. That passage conflicts with the official play-by-play account and the local match report. The verified list therefore gives Oluwaseyi one goal—the second—and Pépé the fifth.

Why early reports can differ

Live round-ups cover several matches at once and can misidentify a player before records are consolidated. A general account of the round is not the same thing as an official match record.

In this instance, LALIGA’s page supplies the minute, scorer, assist and description of the play. Its agreement with the Mallorca report adds support for the attribution to Pépé. Should the competition record later be amended, readers should check the official link for the latest version.

What the result means

The match was part of the Copa del Rey’s first round. Villarreal had announced that the tie would consist of a single match, with the Yellow Submarine playing away.

The 5–0 win at Na Capellera sent Villarreal through and eliminated Manacor. Cadena SER also listed the winning side among the clubs advancing to the next round. The Movistar Plus+ listing identifies Manacor as a team from Group XI of the Tercera RFEF and Villarreal as a Spanish top-flight side.

Five scorers, several direct contributions

Each goal had a different scorer. Nizar was directly involved in three: he assisted Oluwaseyi and Pépé and scored the fourth himself. Oluwaseyi supplied the pass for Cardona’s goal in addition to scoring the second. Diatta scored the opener and later assisted Nizar.

That distribution makes the verified sequence easy to distinguish from the conflicting version: Diatta on 13 minutes, Oluwaseyi on 26, Cardona on 47, Nizar on 55 and Pépé on 68.
