By Chris McNulty at The Showgrounds
Sadiki’s 47th minute header earned Harps a derby win over Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds, condemning Sligo to a fifth successive defeat in all competitions.
After playing second fiddle for much of the first half, Harps took the lead two minutes into the second half.
Karl O’Sullivan’s free kick from the left-hand side hung invitingly and Sadiki nodded past Ed McGinty.
The 22-year-old, signed from Hibernian, has been a real rock at the heart of the Harps rearguard, His first goal in Harps colours could hardly have come at a better time.
After Waterford overcame Bohemians to move five points clear of Harps – who are currently in the relegation play-off spot – the pressure ratcheted up a notch for Ollie Horgan’s side.
