Australian A-League side Brisbane Roar defeated Spanish La Liga team Villarreal 3-0 in a football friendly in Brisbane on Wednesday, with rising star Devante Clut scoring twice.

Clut, 19, opened the scoring with a long-range volley five minutes before half-time before finishing off an excellent team move in the 71st minute to complete his goal brace.

The Roar dominated proceedings in Dutchman Frans Thijssen's final match in charge and took a 2-0 lead into the break after Costa Rican Jean Carlos Solorzano stabbed home from close range.

Villarreal, who finished sixth in La Liga to qualify for the UEFA Europa League next season, should have equalised in the second half but spurned two excellent scoring chances.

Striker Luciano Vietto attempted to chip over Roar goalkeeper Jamie Young with a penalty kick in the 69th minute, but his touch was too heavy and the ball floated over the bar.

Minutes earlier substitute Gerard squandered an easy scoring opportunity.

Villarreal, who were touring Australia for the first time in their 92-year history, won their earlier match 3-2 over Adelaide United in Adelaide last Friday.
