Ghana international Abdul Mumin starred for Rayo Vallecano in their league game against Real Madrid on Sunday night.
The Ghanaian played the entire duration of the game at the Santiago Bernabeu and was one of Rayo’s best performers against the record league winners.
Mumin was given continuity by his manager Francisco Rodriguez after being involved in the game against Real Sociedad, where he scored his first goal for the club in a 2-2 draw at home.
The 25-year-old was up to task against in-form Jude Bellingham while he also ensured the Madrid attack did very little to hurt his side.
The center-back made 13 clearances in the fixture at the Bernabeu, the second-most in a single La Liga game this season only bettered by Martin Valjent (14 clearances vs Bilbao).

Mumin also made a crucial block to deny the Madrid forward the game’s opener with his side going on to secure a vital draw.
The defender has made three league starts this season for Rayo with the clean sheet against Madrid being his first this season.
