Template:Spanish name Ezequiel Calvente Criado (born 12 January 1991), known simply as Ezequiel, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Hungarian club Szombathelyi Haladás on loan from Békéscsaba 1912 Előre as a left winger.

Club career

Ezequiel was born in Melilla. After playing in every youth rank at Real Betis he made his first-team debut as a second-half substitute in a 4–1 home win against Granada CF, for the Segunda División championship;[1] three days later he started in a 2–1 home success against UD Salamanca for the season's Copa del Rey,[2] and signed a professional contract the following day until July 2014.[3]

On 30 January 2012, Ezequiel was loaned to CE Sabadell FC in the second division, until June. In late July, after an unsuccessful trial with Borussia Mönchengladbach, he moved, still on loan, to another club in Germany and the Bundesliga, SC Freiburg, which had the option of signing him permanently at the end of the campaign.[4]

International career

On 24 July 2010, whilst representing Spain's under-19 at the 2010 UEFA European Championship, Ezequiel scored from a penalty kick against Italy in the group stage. It was described by British newspaper The Guardian as being "on an altogether higher plane of spot-kick audacity",[5] as the player kicked it with what looked to be his standing leg, fooling the goalkeeper into going the other way. The national side eventually finished in second position in France.
