Super Eagles marksman Sadiq Umar came clutch for his Valencia side in their 1-1 draw away at Rayo Vallecano in their match day 32 La Liga tie.
Rayo Vallecano went ahead at the end of the first half courtesy a Cesar Tarrega own goal in the 45th minute, creating an uphill task for the away side ahead of the second half.
The second half saw the introduction of the Nigerian talisman who is enjoying a new lease of life in Valencia. With Sadiq’s introduction in the 66th minute, the striker needed only 8 minutes to pull his side level, getting on the end of a flowing move to initially strike the post before calmly burying the rebound.
