Super Eagles striker Sadiq Umar has officially ended a frustrating seven-game goal drought, securing a vital point for Valencia in a 1-1 draw against Mallorca on Tuesday night, April 21, 2026. After a scoreless first half at the Estadi de Son Moix, Mallorca took the lead through a Samu Costa header just after the restart. However, the 6ft 7in Nigerian forward rescued Los Che in the 67th minute, perfectly timing a diving header from a Javi Guerra flick to level the score. This marked Sadiq’s first goal since February 15 and his second league goal for Valencia since joining the club from Real Sociedad in the winter transfer window. While the result helps Valencia maintain a slight four-point cushion above the relegation zone, it keeps Carlos Corberán’s side deeply entrenched in the battle for survival, sitting 13th in the LALIGA standings with 36 points from 32 games. Sadiq, who played the full 90 minutes and recorded four successful dribbles during the match, will now look to carry this momentum into Saturday’s home fixture against Girona as Valencia pushes for safety in the final weeks of the season.
