Umar Sadiq: Aisha and Judy Memini support Super Eagles star at Real Sociedad in style
Super Eagles star Umar Sadiq had his daughter Aisha and 'Oyibo' partner Judy Memini for support as Real Sociedad won against Granada.
The lanky Nigerian forward made his first appearance in the Starting 11 since suffering an ACL injury at the start of last season, featuring from the start against the Madrid side which visited the Reale Arena.
The elation of making his first starting appearance after such a long time out injured might have gotten to Sadiq as the striker failed to make an impact on the match despite his side scoring four goals.
Sadiq failed to fire a shot during his 58 minutes on the pitch against Getafe, continuing his unenviable record of not scoring in more than one calendar year.
Oyarzabal inspires Real Sociedad to victory
As a further knock on the Super Eagles striker, his replacement Mikel Oyarzabal, led Real Sociedad’s comeback from 2-1 down with two goals to inspire his side to an eventual 4-2 victory.
