Umar Sadiq Makes History with Own Goal in Copa del Rey Match

Umar Sadiq, a striker for Valencia, set an unwanted record in a Copa del Rey match against Athletic Bilbao. Sadiq scored an own goal in the 26th minute, making him the first Valencia player to score against his own club in a Spanish competition.

Despite his mistake, Sadiq quickly responded by scoring a goal for Valencia, equalizing the match. However, Athletic Bilbao secured a late victory with a goal from Aki Williams in added time, defeating Valencia 2-1.

Valencia's head coach, Carlo Corberán, refused to blame Sadiq for the loss, emphasizing the striker's hard work and contribution to the team. This match marked Sadiq's second goal in the Copa del Rey since his return to the club during the winter transfer window.

The defeat was a disappointing outcome for Valencia, as they were knocked out of the Copa del Rey.
