Nigerian striker Umar Sadiq helped Real Sociedad pick 2-1 win against Celta Vigo, securing their spot in Copa del Rey semi-finals.

Sadiq came off the bench in the 78th minute when Sociedad were already leading 2-0, helping the team maintain their lead.

Real Sociedad broke the deadlock early in the game, with Mikel Oyarzabal scoring within two minutes of kickoff.

Sheraldo Becker extended the lead to 2-0 in the 66th minute, putting Sociedad in a commanding position.
