La Liga: Sadiq Benched As Real Sociedad Edge Valencia

Super Eagles striker Umar Sadiq was missing in action as Real Sociedad defeated Valencia 3-0 in Saturday’s La Liga game.

The Nigerian international has made five appearances this ongoing season and yet to register his name on the score sheet.

he balance tilted with Takefusa Kubo’s goal in the first half, followed by two more from Iceland’s Orri Steinn Óskarsson towards the end of the match.

With this new loss, Valencia finds themselves in 17th place in the table with five points, none of which were earned away from home, where their record stands at 0 out of 12 points.

Both clubs found themselves in a crisis. Valencia appeared even smaller, particularly away from their Mestalla fortress. They haven’t won as visitors since April 15th in Pamplona. Conversely, Real Sociedad had surprisingly struggled at home, one of the league’s most daunting venues, until yesterday.
