Super Eagles forward Sadiq Umar displayed his brilliance yet again, delivering a stunning long-range wondergoal to secure a crucial 1-1 draw for Real Sociedad against Osasuna at Estadio El Sadar.
Umar, who recently made a comeback after a lengthy injury hiatus, has been on fire, Footballrover reports
His first goal since his return was a remarkable strike from beyond the 30-yard mark, setting the stage for his continued brilliance.
In this encounter, despite an early setback with Osasuna’s Moi Gomez finding the net just two minutes into the game, Umar remained a key figure for Real Sociedad.
He stepped up when it mattered most.
Receiving a precise pass from Igor Zubeldia, Umar navigated past two defenders before unleashing a thunderous shot from the edge of the penalty area, precisely finding the right corner of the net, leveling the score at 1-1.

Although Umar was substituted in the 75th minute, his impact was undeniable.
Despite missing a couple of opportunities, the Nigerian international made three shots on goal and actively contributed with 35 touches, displaying his growing influence in the team.
This marks Umar’s second consecutive goal in La Liga, indicating his resurgence after struggling with injuries.
With his contract secured until June 2028, Umar’s return to form is a promising sign for Real Sociedad’s campaign.
The draw places Real Sociedad in the 6th position, pending the outcome of Real Betis’ Sunday fixture.
Umar’s heroics have undoubtedly bolstered the team’s confidence as they aim for higher standings in the league.
