Umar Sadiq has expressed his delight and underlined the determination of Valencia CF following their hard-earned 1–0 La Liga victory over CA Osasuna at the Mestalla on Sunday.
The Nigerian forward played a decisive role in Valencia’s crucial three points, helping to earn the decisive penalty that was converted by Largie Ramazani. That narrow 1–0 triumph ended Osasuna’s unbeaten run and provided a timely boost to Les Che’s survival fight in La Liga, where Valencia currently sit 13th with 29 points – narrowly clear of the relegation zone.
Speaking to his club’s official channels after the match, Sadiq highlighted the importance of collective effort and preparation.
“It’s important for us to win the three points today,” he said.
“We’ve been working hard this week to give the fans what they deserve, and now we finally have the three points and are already looking forward to the next match.”
The 29-year-old striker’s comments focused heavily on the team’s commitment throughout the week leading up to the game – a factor he believes was key to securing the victory.
His intelligent movement in attack and persistence were instrumental in winning the spot-kick that ultimately decided the match, illustrating how his offensive contributions go beyond goals alone.
Since joining Valencia, Sadiq has become an important figure in his team’s pursuit of top-flight survival, contributing with decisive moments and influencing games through his movement and strength in attack.
His ability to hold up play and create opportunities for teammates continues to make him a valued member of the squad as they navigate a challenging season.
Valencia now look to build on this momentum as they aim to climb further up the table in the coming weeks ahead of a run of crucial fixtures.
