Ghana defender Abdul Mumin has been nominated for the prestigious La Liga Goal of the Month award for September, following his incredible performance for Rayo Vallecano.
The Black Stars centre-back earned this recognition for his stunning goal in Rayo Vallecano’s 3-1 victory over Osasuna earlier this month. His brilliant strike not only contributed to the win but also earned him the Man of the Match accolade.
Mumin nomination sees him competing alongside Osasuna’s Raul Garcia and UD Las Palmas’ Sandro Ramirez, both of whom also produced remarkable goals during the month.

The defender has quickly become an integral part of Rayo’s squad, starting regularly in the heart of the defence and delivering consistent performances. His goal against Osasuna, a belter from outside the box, captured the attention of fans and pundits alike, adding to his already impressive season.
The 25-year-old has also been a regular inclusion in the Black Stars setup, reinforcing his importance both domestically and for the national team.
Notably, Abdul Mumin becomes the second Ghanaian player to be nominated for an award in La Liga for the month of September, joining Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams, who has been shortlisted for the La Liga Player of the Month award.
