Super Eagles Center Back Omeruo Scores 95th Minute Winner As Leganes Beat Sadiq's Almeria
Published: February 17, 2021
It has taken former Chelsea central defender Kenneth Omeruo eighteen games in all competitions to open his goalscoring account for the 2020-2021 season and it was a crucial goal that secured all three points for his side in a 2-1 win against Almeria in a La Liga 2 clash at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Wednesday evening.
Rio Olympics bronze medalist Umar Sadiq continued his fantastic season when he opened the scoring eight minutes in.
The Almeria number 9 blasted the ball into the net after a defensive slip by a Leganes player allowed him through on goal.
Borja Bastón restored parity in the 48th minute before Omeruo popped up with the winning goal with almost the last kick of the game.
The Super Eagles star was quickest to react, slotting home off the post, when an Eraso shot was blocked by an Almeria defender.
Omeruo had not scored in a league game for over a year prior to the visit of The Rojiblancos, with his last goal coming against Real Sociedad on February 2, 2020.
Following their fifteenth win of the season, Leganes, who were demoted from the top division at the end of last season, have closed the gap on leaders Mallorca to two points.
