The Moroccan international made his second consecutive start on Sunday as Villarreal welcomed Levante for Matchday 7, and once again played an important role in the team's attacking game.
After providing an assist in his first start against Málaga, the 22-year-old followed it up with another decisive contribution, helping Villarreal secure a 3–1 victory and continue their climb after a difficult opening to the campaign.
Another Start, Another Contribution
The decision to keep Akhomach in the starting XI came after an encouraging performance in his previous appearance.
Against Málaga, his first start of the season, the winger immediately made an impact by creating a goal as Villarreal finally recorded their first victory of the campaign.
That performance earned him another opportunity from the beginning against Levante, and he once again showed why his role is growing within the squad.
The Moroccan operated from the wing and remained involved in Villarreal's attacking movements before being substituted in the 67th minute.
Villarreal Find Their Rhythm
The victory was particularly important for the Yellow Submarine after a difficult opening five matches.
Villarreal had managed just three defeats and two draws during that period, leaving the team searching for consistency and their first real run of positive results.
Now, two consecutive victories have changed the feeling around the team.
The 3–1 success over Levante followed the win against Málaga, giving the Spanish side back-to-back league victories and providing a platform from which to build.
Akhomach's contribution has arrived at an important moment, with the Moroccan increasingly involved as Villarreal look to maintain their momentum.
From Villarreal B to the First Team
Akhomach's journey at the club has been one of gradual progression.
He joined Villarreal in 2023 as a free agent after his contract with FC Barcelona expired, initially linking up with Villarreal B before beginning to establish himself around the first-team setup.
His performances eventually earned him a place in the senior squad ahead of the 2024–25 season, marking another important step in his development.
The winger's versatility and ability to create opportunities have remained key parts of his game as he has continued adapting to the demands of La Liga.
A New Chapter After Rayo Vallecano
In January 2026, Villarreal extended his contract until June 2028, underlining the club's continued belief in his development.
He then spent the second half of the 2025–26 campaign on loan at fellow La Liga side Rayo Vallecano, where he made 16 appearances during his six-month spell.
Returning to Villarreal for the new season, the Moroccan now appears to be building momentum at his parent club.
Two consecutive starts and two assists have given him a strong platform to establish himself more firmly within the team's plans.
A Positive Sign for Akhomach
There is still a long season ahead, but the recent signs are encouraging.
After working his way back into Villarreal's starting lineup, the Moroccan has responded with an assist in each of his last two starts. His latest contribution came alongside a convincing team performance that secured another three points.
For the 22-year-old, the priority now will be to maintain that consistency and turn this promising run into a sustained role at Villarreal as the La Liga season continues.
