Umar Sadiq Strikes Again as Valencia Edge Valladolid
Nigerian forward Umar Sadiq continued his impressive form for Valencia, scoring the decisive goal in their 2-1 victory over Real Valladolid at the Estadio de Mestalla on Saturday night.
The match started brightly for Valencia, with Diego López giving the hosts an early lead in the 7th minute. However, Juanmi Latasa pulled Valladolid level five minutes before halftime, setting up a tense second half.
Sadiq, who has been in fine form since his January loan move from Real Sociedad, delivered once again, firing home the winner in the 58th minute to secure all three points for Los Che. The 28-year-old played the entire match, proving to be a key figure in Valencia’s attack.
Sadiq’s Resurgence at Valencia
Since joining on loan, Sadiq has scored five goals in just seven league appearances, a remarkable turnaround after struggling for consistency at Real Sociedad. His recent performances suggest he’s finally finding his rhythm, and Valencia fans will be hoping he maintains this goal-scoring streak as they push for a strong finish in La Liga.
With his blend of physicality, intelligent movement, and finishing ability, could Sadiq be the missing piece in Valencia’s attack? If he continues this form, the club may look to make his loan move permanent.
For now, Valencia celebrate another hard-fought win, while Sadiq continues to make his mark as a game-changer in Spanish football.
