Ibrahim Sadiq was the star of the show as AZ Alkmaar secured a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Dutch giants Ajax in a mouth-watering away game on Sunday.
Ibrahim Sadiq’s resurgence from injury has been a shot in the arm for AZ Alkmaar, and the Ghanaian forward’s latest strike against Ajax has reignited the Dutch outfit’s hopes of returning to the Champions League.
Sadiq, who has been plagued by injuries this season, netted his fifth Eredivisie goal in nine league games, showcasing his potency in front of goal.
The 24-year-old attacker’s goal-scoring prowess has been a beacon of hope for AZ Alkmaar, who are eager to reclaim their spot among Europe’s elite.
In Alkmaar’s thrilling 2-2 draw against Ajax, Sadiq’s goal in the 83rd minute seemed to have sealed the deal for AZ Alkmaar. However, Oliver Edvardsen’s equalizer just three minutes later left the visitors with a share of the spoils.
Despite the setback, Sadiq’s performance was a testament to his importance to the team. With five goals and three assists in nine league games, the Ghanaian international has been AZ Alkmaar’s go-to man in attack.
As AZ Alkmaar bids to return to the Champions League for the first time since 2021, a fit and firing Sadiq will be crucial to their aspirations.
The Dutch outfit will be counting on the 24-year-old attacker to lead the charge and propel them back into Europe’s premier club competition.
