AZ Alkmaar manager Maarten Martens has praised Ghanaian winger Ibrahim Sadiq for his decisive performance in the Dutch Eredivisie opener against Almere City. Sadiq made an immediate impact, scoring the match-winning goal just four minutes into the game.
Martens lauded Sadiq’s contribution, noting, “A nice reward for Sadiq,” reflecting on the winger’s impressive form since his arrival in September 2023.
The Right to Dream Academy graduate has continued his strong performance from the previous season and appears poised for a standout campaign.
The match, held on Saturday evening, was marked by its intensity, with three players receiving red cards—one from AZ Alkmaar and two from Almere City. Sadiq was substituted in the second half, making way for Dutch-born Ghanaian winger Ernest Poku.
