At Saturday’s match between Rayo Vallecano and Valencia at the Estadio de Vallecas, Nigerian attacker Umar Sadiq came off the bench to help Valencia earn a 1-1 draw. Cesar Tarrega scored an own goal just before halftime, putting Valencia down.
Andre Almeida was substituted for by Sadiq in the 66th minute. The 27-year-old scored Los Che’s equalizer with 16 minutes remaining. With five goals in ten league games for Valencia this season, the Nigerian is on fire.
Their current seven-game winning streak is the joint-longest in the league since December 2021, and it is all thanks to Carlos Corberán.
