The Digest:
Super Eagles striker Umar Sadiq was on target again as Valencia returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Girona at the Mestalla on Saturday. Just four days ago, Sadiq scored a crucial equaliser in Valencia's 1-1 draw at Mallorca. After a goalless first half, Largie Ramazani broke the deadlock five minutes into the second half before Sadiq doubled the lead with a header from a left-wing cross. Girona pulled one back, but Valencia held on for the win.
Key Points:
- Valencia had gone three straight games without a win before Saturday.
- Sadiq has now scored in back-to-back La Liga matches.
- Valencia secured their first win after two defeats and a draw.
- Girona's Joel Roca scored in the 63rd minute, but it wasn't enough.
- The win moves Valencia further away from the relegation zone.
