Nigeria youth star Sadiq sent off as Almeria hold Fuenlabrada

Nigeria striker Umar Sadiq was shown a red card as Almeria battled for a 1-1 draw against Fuenlabrada in the Spanish second division.

The 24-year-old was making his 21st appearance in the Segunda Division on Saturday but he could not add to his tally of 11 goals as the Rojiblancos failed to win their second successive league match on the road.

Sadiq was first booked in the 30th minute but he was later punished with another yellow card in the 53rd minute which resulted in his sending off.
