Umar Sadiq was on target as Almeria saw off Ponferradina 3-0 in Monday’s Segunda Division encounter, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Nigeria international gave the hosts a first-half lead before Arnau Puigmal and Inigo Eguaras wrapped up victory for Rubi’s side.

The win saw Almeria climb to second place (automatic promotion spot) on 66 points, one point behind leaders Eibar with seven games left in the season.

It was Sadiq’s 16th goal after 29 games played in the Spanish second-tier this campaign.

He is just four goals away from equaling his tally for last season (20 goals, 40 games).

Next up for Sadiq and his team is a trip to Estadio Jose Zorrilla where they will square up against Real Valladolid on April 16.
