Nigerian striker Sadiq Umar sent the social media buzzing as he scored an incredible and vintage goal for Real Sociedad in their 2-1 win over Sevilla in La Liga.
Dmitrovic had already put Real Sociedad ahead in the 3rd minute with an own goal before Sadiq Umar's thunderbolt finish in the 22nd minute.
The former Roma forward got the better of his opponent, and from outside the box, fired a screamer pass Sevilla goalkeeper to double the lead for the home side.
It was the second time, Umar has found the back of the net for Real Sociedad after he netted his first goal on his debut against Atletico Madrid.
With the screamer of a goal against Sevilla, Umar has definitely weathered a difficult career start in Europe.
He has already won the heart of Nigerian fans who will want to have the prolific striker make Jose Peseiro's striker options for 2023 AFCON.
The 26-year-old Kaduna-born forward has made 14 La Liga appearances for Real Sociedad, and has now nailed home his first La Liga with a brilliant finish.
At just 26, Umar has already played for about 10 European clubs since he took his football career to Europe.
His first stop in the shores of Europe was Spezia in Serie A in 2014 but he did not make a single appearance for the club, and was sent on loan spells to different Serie A clubs.
Roma was among his loan destinations and his move was made a permanent deal with the Serie A giants but he struggled to break into the club's lineup after then.
Umar subsequently breathed life back to his career after joining Real Sociedad in 2022 signing a five-year deal.
He made his national team debut for Nigeria in 2022 and has won 10 caps to his belt.
