Sadiq Umar scores 11th league goal of the season in Partizan win

Sadiq Umar scored his 11th goal in the Serbian Super Liga as Partizan defeated Rad Beograd 2-1.

Umar who is currently on a season-long loan from Roma, opened the scoring for Partizan with his effort just after the half hour-mark on Sunday.

The strike made the Nigerian forward the joint-highest goalscorer in the Serbian top-flight with 11 goals after 16 matches.

Later in the second half, Guinea's Seydouba Soumah secured maximum points for Partizan with his match-winning goal in the 53rd minute which moved them to third in the league table with 41 points after 19 games.
