Serbian Fans Go Wild As Sadiq’s Silky Assist Helps Partizan Into Cup Final

As many as 25,000 fans went wild for former Nigerian youth international, Umar Sadiq on Wednesday when the striker produced a silky assist for his club, Partizan Belgrade.

A capacity crowd was permitted for the first time since March as the bitter city rivals, Partizan and Red Star Belgrade contested the Serbian cup semi-finals.

Sadiq must feel like another long-forgotten memory for Rangers fans but he’s popped up in a viral clip that reminds us what the game is all about and hopefully will be again before long.

The big striker endured a torrid time at Ibrox on-loan from Roma in 2018/19 and has since moved on to Partizan.

He was involved in some spectacular scenes during Wednesday’s Belgrade derby against Red Star in front of a capacity 25,000 crowd.

The Nigerian’s mazy run, putting a rival on his backside, provided the assist for Bibras Natcho to send Partizan into the Serbian Cup Final.

It’s the first time a full crowd has been permitted inside stadiums since the coronavirus pandemic forced the Balkan nation to suspend football in March.

New Covid-19 cases in Serbia have reduced substantially over the past few months, remaining in double digits since May 23.
