Rayo Vallecano defender Abdul Mumin set a personal milestone on Saturday, scoring in his team’s thrilling 3-3 draw against Real Madrid in La Liga. The Ghanaian international delivered an outstanding performance, marking his best goal-scoring season to date.
Mumin found the back of the net in the 36th minute with a powerful header from Isi Palazón’s perfectly executed corner. His goal doubled Rayo’s lead after Unai López had opened the scoring in the fourth minute, capitalizing on Jorge de Frutos’ precise delivery to the far post.
With this goal, Mumin has now scored twice in 15 appearances this season, surpassing his previous career-best for a single campaign. His contributions continue to solidify his growing reputation as a reliable defender with an eye for goal.
Real Madrid fought back impressively, ending the first half with two quick strikes. Federico Valverde reduced the deficit with a sensational 35-yard strike, finding the bottom corner. Jude Bellingham then leveled the game on the stroke of halftime, heading in Rodrygo’s cross.
Rodrygo put Madrid ahead in the 56th minute with a stunning goal from outside the box, giving the visitors the lead. However, Rayo capitalized on defensive lapses from Aurélien Tchouaméni and Lucas Vázquez, securing a well-deserved equalizer to split the points in an action-packed encounter.
