Armando Sadiku: pichichi and survivor

Armando Sadiku is Málaga's top scorer with 12 goals scored. He is only three from becoming the best Malaguista gunner of the decade in the same campaign if he manages to exceed the 14 scored by Rondón (2010-11) and Sandro (2016-17). The Albanian, on loan from Levante, has decided to stay beyond 30-J. That is, until the end of the work.

Armando Sadiku's 12 goals have been as follows: One for Mirandés in Anduva (1-1), one for Zaragoza in La Romareda (2-2), one for Deportivo in Riazor (0-2), one for Elche, penalty (3-3), two to Tenerife, one of penalty (2-1), one to Lugo (1-1), one to Oviedo in Tartiere (penalty) (1-1), one to Mirandés (2 -2), one to Numancia, from a penalty (2-1), one to Huesca, a penalty (1-3) and one to Extremadura (1-1). Various interesting facts. Málaga have only lost once with Sadiku scoring, (1-3 against Huesca). If we add the points obtained with the participation of the Albanian we count 16, which is not bad at all given how expensive it has become to add in this tremendous Second Division. He has also hit five times from the penalty spot.

Armando Sadiku also has a curious mark. It takes more than six months with four cards. Since he was booked on December 21 against Lugo, has resisted like a titan without seeing the fifth yellow this entire period of time. A luck for Malaga that does not walk, as it is in the public domain, plenty of professional chips.

But there is a third detail that does not go unnoticed. In the last game played at La Rosaleda against Extremadura, he left with a frowning gesture after being replaced by Sergio Buenacasa. Since the ‘new football’ returned, it has been substituted in these four games (Huesca, Tenerife, Extremadura and Lugo). In the overall balance of this season it has been changed 12 times while on one occasion he entered from the bench. With all this, he is the best gunner of Malaga.
