Ghanaian duo Lumor Agbenyenu and Baba Iddrisu were instrumental as Real Mallorca began the second round of La Liga with a thumping win against giants Valencia.

The pair played the entire duration as Mallorca recorded a 4-1 win at the Iberostar Stadium.

Baba was solid in the middle of the park as Lumor looked to have rediscovered his form as he run the flanks with delight.

Antonio Jose Arenas opened the scoring after just seven minutes, before Ante Budimir scored a brace to make it 3-0 before half time.

After a commanding first half, Daniel Rodriguez Vasquez made it 4-0 with eleven minutes left before Ferran Torres pulled one back for the visitors.

The win lifts Mallorca to 17th on the La Liga table as they fight to stay in the Spanish top flight.
