Ghanaian defender Abdul Mumin’s spectacular goal against Osasuna has been nominated for the 2024-2025 La Liga Goal of the Season award.
The 26-year-old Rayo Vallecano centre-back’s thunderous left-footed strike, scored in September 2024 at the Estadio de Vallecas, is among nine goals vying for the prestigious honour.
The goal showcased Mumin’s ability to deliver from distance. During the match against Osasuna, with Rayo Vallecano trailing, Mumin received the ball just outside the penalty area, took a few steps forward, and unleashed a powerful shot that rocketed into the top corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.
The strike not only equalized the score but also earned Mumin the La Liga Goal of the Month award for September 2024.
Mumin’s season with Rayo Vallecano was marred by a knee injury that cut short his campaign after 24 league appearances, during which he scored twice and provided one assist. His second goal came in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Real Madrid, further highlighting his impact on the team.
Despite the injury, his performances were instrumental in Rayo Vallecano’s push for European qualification, securing a spot in continental football for the upcoming season.
Fans can support Mumin’s bid for the Goal of the Season by casting their votes through the official La Liga voting platform.
