In a highly anticipated return to Estadio Mediterráneo, Umar Sadiq made his way back to the hallowed grounds where he once thrived as a hero for Almeria.

The Nigerian striker had left Almeria in a record-breaking deal to join Real Sociedad last summer, and the reunion did not disappoint.

Amidst an emotional homecoming, the 26-year-old received a heartwarming welcome from his former teammates and the fervent Almeria fans who had cherished his contributions to the club.

Sadiq started the match, wearing the colors of Real Sociedad against his former team.

Despite his eagerness to make an impact, the Nigerian forward attempted four shots at goal during the match but couldn’t find the back of the net, much to the delight of the home supporters.

With a scoreless first half , eventually Real Sociedad emerged victorious with a 3-1 win in this high-stakes La Liga encounter.

Despite not adding to his goal tally, the game marked Sadiq’s 11th appearance in the 2023-2024 campaign for Real Sociedad, with a single assist to his name.

His return to Estadio Mediterráneo was a story of emotions, former glory, and a fierce competition that ended in triumph for Real Sociedad.
