Ghanaian forward Ibrahim Sadiq delivered a standout performance as AZ Alkmaar battled to a dramatic 2-2 draw against Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena in a pulsating Eredivisie clash on Sunday.

Despite struggling with injuries throughout the season, the 24-year-old forward proved his worth once again, stepping up when AZ needed him most. With the team fighting to keep their Champions League hopes alive, Sadiq emerged as the hero, finding the net in the 83rd minute with a clinical finish that looked set to seal a vital win.

However, Ajax responded swiftly, with Oliver Edvardsen equalizing just three minutes later, ensuring both sides shared the points in a fiercely contested match.

Sadiq’s goal marked his fifth in just nine league appearances this season, underlining his sharpness in front of goal. Along with three assists, his resurgence has made him a key figure in AZ’s push for a top-four finish.

As the season heads toward its climax, Sadiq’s form could be crucial in guiding AZ Alkmaar to European football next season.
