Sadiq Umar Send Almeria Back To La Liga

The duo of Umar Sadiq and Kenneth Omeruo were on target as, Almeria gained promotion to the Spanish topflight after a 2-2 draw at Leganes in their last game of the season, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The result means aside gaining promotion, Sadiq and his Almeria teammates are champions in the Spanish second-tier division.

The Almeria lynchpin ended the season with 18 goals and 9 assists, won 7 penalties with 14 big chances created plus 36 chances created in all 36 league games (34 starts).

A point was enough to confirm Almeria as La Liga 2 champions and Umar and teammates will play in the Spanish top division next season.

Borja Garces had given Leganes a ninth minute lead while Rodrigo Ely drew Almeria level on 15 minutes.

Omeruo handed the home side the lead minutes before the halftime break to make it 2-1 but they were pegged back by ubiquitous Sadiq who smashed home the equaliser shortly after the interval.

Almeria and Real Valladolid, who both ended the campaign on 81 points after 42 games but with Sadiq’s side edging it on goals difference, qualified automatically to the elite division.

Umar Sadiq is now set to fulfill his dream of playing in La Liga.
