Football often reserves these kinds of little stories that are impossible to write in advance. This Tuesday evening, Étienne Eto’o, 22 years old, one of Samuel Eto’o‘s six children, scored his first professional goal in the colors of Rayo Vallecano… 27 years after his illustrious father opened his score in career against Rayo Vallecano in the same competition, the Copa del Rey.
With the club from the suburbs of Madrid, Étienne Eto’o scored the fifth and final goal of a match won easily against Villamuriel (5-0) in the 88th minute of play, with a cross shot into the area. With the number 28 on his back, Étienne Eto’o scores on his first official appearance with the Rayo jersey.
Recruited this summer by Rayo Vallecano but confined to the reserve team until now, Étienne Eto’o was born in Mallorca in August 2002, at a time when his father was revealing himself to the football world in the colors of the local club .
Trained in Mallorca, Étienne Eto’o has had an eventful career, having already experienced four clubs, in Spain and Portugal before joining Rayo. An international hopeful with Cameroon, he plays as an attacker and is over 90 meters tall.
