Valencia manager Carlos Corberán has heaped plaudits on Umar Sadiq after the striker opened his goal account for the club.
The Nigerian international was on target in Los Ches’ 2-0 Copa del Rey victory over Ourense on Tuesday night.
Valencia took the lead five minutes after the break with Fran Carmona slotting the ball into his own net.
Prompt News reports that Sadiq added the second goal 12 minutes from time.
Corberán showered encomium on the 27-year-old after the keenly contested encounter.
“Sadiq has shown that he lives close to the goal, he has achieved an individual move that has given him an important goal, and I am sure that it will give him confidence, which is important to continue helping him in that aspect.”
The 27-year-old joined Valencia on loan from fellow LaLiga club, Real Sociedad earlier this month.
