<p>The center-back found the back of the net in the 49th minute to restore parity after the visitors took the lead in the first half.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mumin received a line-breaking pass from teammate Gerard Gumbau on the left wing and, with a one-touch control into the penalty box, hit a powerful shot with his weaker left foot into the tip corner.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 26-year-old rearguard’s strike hit the inner bar before finding its way past the goalkeeper.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Osasuna had taken the lead just 26 minutes into the game when Raul Garcia hit a 25-yard volley and defended well to maintain the lead despite the constant push from the home side.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After recess, Rayo Vallecano kept the pressure on and were finally rewarded when Mumin scored what many have described as the best goal in La Liga so far.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The home side went on to dominate and were rewarded with two more goals from Andre Ratiu and Unai Lopez to win 3-1 to the delight of their fans at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas stadium in Madrid.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Abdul Mumin’s Black Stars career</h2>

<p>Mumin received his debut call-up to join the Ghana national team on November 9, 2023, when former<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/sports/football/black-stars/otto-addo-bemoans-possibility-of-black-stars-playing-home-qualifiers-abroad/qs9xjwe"> Black Stars </a>head coach Chris Hughton named him in his 25-man squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Madagascar and Comoros. Unfortunately, a late injury forced him to withdraw.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He has since made four appearances for the senior national team - all under current Black Stars head coach <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/sports/football/black-stars/otto-addo-declares-next-afcon-qualifiers-against-kwasi-appiahs-sudan-as-must-wins/se1b8pp">Otto Addo.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>The defender played 90 minutes in both of Ghana’s last two shambolic displays against Angola and Niger in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers.</p>
