Valencia manager praises Umar Sadiq’s late equaliser against Villarreal

Valencia manager Carlos Corberán has commended striker Umar Sadiq for his crucial late goal in the 1-1 draw against Villarreal on Saturday night.

The match at Estadio de la Cerámica saw Villarreal take the lead through a well-placed effort from Papa Gueye around the 30-minute mark.

Valencia struggled to break down their opponents but found a lifeline in the dying moments of the game.

Sadiq, introduced as a substitute with just seven minutes remaining, made an immediate impact by netting his first goal of the season, securing a valuable point for his side.

Corberán acknowledged the Nigerian forward’s influence, highlighting the importance of collective team effort.

To be a combative team, with opportunities in the matches, we need all our players at their best,” he said.

The late equaliser ensured Valencia avoided defeat and maintained their competitive form.

While Villarreal had controlled much of the game, the visitors capitalised on their late attacking momentum to force a draw.

Sadiq’s goal not only rescued his team but also marked a personal milestone in what has been a challenging season for the forward.

His return to the scoresheet could prove vital for Valencia as they push forward in their campaign.

With this result, Valencia remains determined to climb the league table, while Villarreal will rue their missed opportunity to secure all three points.
