Roma Loanee Sadiq Scores A Worldie But Gets Sent Off; Igboun Takes Tally To 4 Goals
Published: March 03, 2019Round-up of the Nigerian players who found the net for their clubs in league matches across Europe on Sunday, March 3.
In an Italian Serie B clash staged at the Stadio Renato Curi, former Nigeria U23 international Umar Sadiq netted for the second successive game as Perugia beat Salernitana 3-1.
The lanky forward scored a brilliant goal from a tight angle on the right to make it 2-0 in the 31st minute after receiving a pass from Dragomir.
The Roma loanee was yellow carded in the 53rd minute and ended up in the showers a minute later after picking up a second yellow card.
Before this fixture, Sadiq had never been dismissed in his professional career, though he was shown a red card in a Primavera C fixture in April 2016.
Elsewhere, Super Eagles striker Sylvester Igboun took his tally to four goals in the Russian Premier League after scoring for FC Ufa in their 2-1 loss to Dinamo Moscow.
The number 44 opened the scoring in the 32nd minute when he pounced on a terrible back pass and rounded the Dinamo Moscow goalkeeper.
