Umar Sadiq wins the award for the best goal of March in La Liga

Umar Sadiq wins the award for the best goal of March in the Spanish La Liga. The Nigerian striker from Valencia CF was recognized for his outstanding achievement that left a mark during the 26th matchday against Osasuna.

On March 2, 2025, during an away match against Osasuna at El Sadar Stadium, Umar Sadiq scored an exceptional backheel goal in the 87th minute, allowing Valencia CF to equalize 3-3. This technical masterpiece outshone other notable achievements, including Diego García's acrobatic bicycle kick for CD Leganés against Getafe CF and Andrei Rațiu's long-range shot for Rayo Vallecano against Sevilla FC.

By clinching this trophy, Sadiq follows in the footsteps of Romain Perraud of Real Betis, who was the winner in February. The Nigerian forward, on loan to Real Sociedad this winter, has already scored 4 goals in 8 appearances in the Spanish top flight.
