Super Eagles striker, Sadiq scored one of the goals of the season in the Spanish second division, the Segundo Division with a spectacular strike from distance to help his side, Almeria defeat CD Mirandés 2-1 on Sunday, www.bestchoicesports.com.ng can report.

It was the striker’s 12 goal of the season as he netted twice to help his club consolidate their second position on the log and intensify their promotion chances

In a first half with equal dominance by both teams, they headed into the interval with the scoreboard reading goalless no thanks to Almeria’s unutilized chances.

Sadiq who scored his first senior international goal for Nigeria against Guinea Bissau in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations AFCON in Cameroon, opened scoring for the home side in the 69th minute.

The Nigeria international doubled the advantage with a delicate chip over Raúl Lizoáin after the CD Mirandés goalkeeper made a horrible pass to a teammate.

Nine minutes into stoppage time, Sergio Camello converted a spot kick to pull a goal back but it was not enough to reinvigorate a comeback

Sadiq has scored in each of his last three league matches for Almeria, taking his tally to 12 in 2021-2022.

Almeria are second on the log with 55 points from 28 matches. A point behind leaders Eibar.
