Sadiq pounced on the rebound to open the scoring for the Rojiblancos after Lucas Robertone's effort was blocked in the fifth minute, the ball took a deflection and
the Nigerian, quicker than the rest of the players, provided the finish.
Sixteen minutes in, the number nine twisted and turned to get away from the Alcorcon defenders and fired a left-footed strike past goalkeeper Daniel Jimenez for his fourth goal of the season.
Sadiq
had a potential opportunity to score a hat-trick in the 37th minute but
the goal went down as an own goal as the ball hit the goalkeeper and
went in, before striking the woodwork from near the center circle in
first half stoppage-time.
Alejandro Pozo added further gloss to the scoreline midway through the second half.
Almeria, who are second in the provisional standings, are at home to Tenerife in their next league game.
