The former Hearts of Oak striker converted a penalty in the 65th minute to halve the deficit for the visitors.
It marked Sadat’s 5th goal in the 2022 campaign.
Utsiktens took a 2-0 lead courtesy of an own goal from teammate Andreas Bengtsson in the 12th minute and Karl Bohm in the 25th.
Both sides finished the game with 10 men each.
Following the defeat, Halmstads BK drop to second position with 52 points. They are one point behind IF Brommapojkarna after 27 matches.
