Ghana defender Abdul Mumin
Ghana defender Abdul Mumin scored a spectacular goal with a powerful strike in Rayo Vallecano's thrilling 3-1 victory over Osasuna on Monday, September 16, 2024.
Mumin’s goal, a thunderbolt from a tight angle, was pivotal as Rayo ended a run of poor results at the Estadio de Vallecas.
The centre-back, known for his defensive prowess, ventured forward and unleashed a powerful drive with his weaker left foot.
His strike flew past the Osasuna goalkeeper and marked a significant turning point in the match.
Mumin’s goal, which took his tally to two contributions this season, was crucial as Rayo added two more goals from Andrie Ratiu and Unai Lopez to secure the win.
Reflecting on his performance and the team’s effort, Mumin expressed his gratitude and praised his teammates.
"I’m a firm believer in God so the first thing I’ll say is I thank God," he said. "The whole team showed a lot of determination and effort, so pros go to the team. Very good goal.
"I think the whole team has a lot of determination, we have an unbelievable coach too and the whole staff, they try to help us not to give up."
Mumin’s confidence has been evident despite a recent blunder with the Ghana national team in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola.
His strong performance against Osasuna highlights his growing impact at Rayo Vallecano, a club that often fights to stay in the top tier.
