Following a lacklustre effort for Nigeria’s Super Eagles at the Total Energies Afcon 2021 in Cameroon, Umar Sadiq has put in a fantastic performance for Almeria in their league encounter on Friday.

The Super Eagles striker scored for Almeria in their 2-0 win over UD Ibiza at the Juegos Mediterraneos Stadium, which was their first win in 2022 in La Liga 2.

The forward scored his 10th goal of the season in all competitions (9 in the league), when he finished a brilliant counter-attacking move for Almeria with a cool finish.

Largie Ramazani scored the game’s first goal for Joan Francesc barely 13 minutes into the game, before the visitors were whittled down to ten men as Lex Gálvez was sent off.

Late in the game, Umar Sadiq clinched the win and all three points with a beautiful finish at the top of the post on a counter attack.

He also won two penalties in the game as they beat Ibiza Eivissa 2-0 to go into second place in the La Liga Smartbank standings.

When Almeria takes on Malaga at the La Rosaleda stadium on Saturday, the attacker will be hoping to extend his scoring form.

Look at the goal Sadiq Umar scored for Almeria today.

Pacey, cut a defender & release a rocket shot.

But for Super Eagles, he dey do like say his legs no strong 😭
