Omo, Umar Sadiq no dey carry last oh! After im hot cameo for Real Sociedad for Copa del Rey match against Reus FC, e dey try shakara make e enter Super Eagles squad wey go AFCON 2025.
The Naija forward wey no too dey play regular this season, come turn the whole match like 180 degrees after im siddon bench, na weytin hitvibz dey yan be dat.
Na im win penalty, na im seal the match with late goal for stoppage time. Chai, guy na fighter no be small!
Umar Sadiq turn the game for Real Sociedad
Guy performance no be small thing oh. E carry Sociedad waka go third round plus show say im still dey hungry to chop playing time after Eric Chelle put 54-man provisional squad.
Sadiq enter the pitch and immediately matter start dey sweet. Coach Sergio Francisco first put young pikin Carrera, leave Sadiq dey watch from bench.
First half na gbege, nothing dey waka. But as 28-year-old Super Eagles forward waka enter for halftime, matter don change.
Four minutes after restart, Mikel Goti knack first goal, and Sadiq late penalty come seal 2–0 win. Chai, since March 2024, na him first goal for club oh. This one na big boost for guy fight to show form and dey front for selectors’ eye.
Even coach Francisco no fit hold am:
“Sadiq dey always deliver when e show face, today na im win balls, dey threat opposition, and win that penalty wey calm everybody. The changes work well, we don reach our aim to enter next round.”
AFCON hope don dey alive after wahala wey e face
This season no easy for Sadiq oh. Guy don just show six times, injury plus stiff competition dey chop im minutes small.
From summer wey dem put am for transfer list, to small cameo against Mallorca, Barcelona and other La Liga teams, Sadiq dey fight to regain sharpness.
Im last action before Wednesday na October 28, when e assist for 3–0 Copa del Rey win over Negreira.
Now, as e dey 54-man provisional squad for Nigeria, AFCON dream don dey shine again.
But oga, wahala still dey: to make final 28-man roster under Eric Chelle, e go need steady performance and full match fitness.
Wednesday performance don clear am well: Sadiq no dey carry last, e dey hungry, e dey ready to grab any chance wey go land am AFCON 2025 ticket.
