Fresh from scoring one of the goals that helped Almeria to get their season campaign up and running with a 3-1 win over Cartagena, Sadiq Umar was once again pivotal in yesterday’s 2-1 win over Real Oviedo.
The lanky forward set up Jose Carlos Lazo for the opening goal of the game in the 5th minute to claim his first assist of the season as they maintain their perfect start with two wins in two games.
Still linked with a possible departure before the close of the transfer window , he is for now not showing any sign of a player whose concentration level has dipped.
Aside the assist for the goal, he was a constant menace to the defense of the visitors all through the duration of the game watched by coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr.
Rohr has invited him to the national team of Nigeria twice but he hasn’t been able to honor the call up due to club engagements. He might however be available if called up for the World Cup qualifiers which begins on the 3rd of September.
