Ghanaian defender Abdul Mumin Suleiman has won the Goal of the Month award for September 2024 in the Spanish La Liga.

The Black Stars center-back's strike for Rayo Vallecano against Osasuna was selected among the best goals for the month.

The defender scored a belter in Rayo's 3-1 victory earlier this month and was also named Man of the Match after the game.

Abdul Mumin competed with Raul Garcia of Osasuna and Sandro Ramirez of UD Las Palmas for the coveted award.

“Rayo Vallecano’s Abdul Mumin wins La Liga EA Sports Goal of the Month for September,” La Liga’s official account on X reported on October 2, 2024.

Mumin is the first Ghanaian player to have won the award since it was introduced in the Spanish La Liga in the 2023/2024 season.

He becomes the second Ghanaian player to be nominated for an award in the month of September 2024 in La Liga, joining Inaki Williams, who has been selected for the Player of the Month award.

Abdul Mumin has been an integral member of Rayo Vallecano since joining the club last summer from Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes.

He has also been a regular member of the Black Stars in recent times.
