Black Stars centre-back Abdul Mumin registered his second goal of the season for Real Vallecano in their 3-3 home stalemate with Real Madrid in the La Liga on Saturday evening.

La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid missed the chance to move top of the table after being held by Rayo Vallecano in a pulsating contest.

Carlo Ancelotti's side, who were without the injured Kylian Mbappe, fell behind after only five minutes at the Estadio do Vallecas when Unai Lopez headed Jorge de Frutos' delivery into the far corner.

An Abdul Mumin header doubled Vallecano's advantage nine minutes before the interval, but Federico Valverde reduced the arrears with a sweetly struck, long-range drive before Jude Bellingham levelled.

Bellingham, who has scored in seven of his team's last eight games in all competitions, is the first Real Madrid player to find the net in six successive La Liga matches since Karim Benzema in early 2016.

 

Rodrygo put Madrid ahead 11 minutes into the second half with a fierce strike from the edge of the box, but the home side earned themselves a hard-earned point when Isi Palazon turned Florian Lejeune's long-range effort beyond goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

 

Second-half substitute Vinicius Junior almost won it for Madrid late on, but the Brazilian's powerful strike was tipped over the bar by goalkeeper Augusto Batalla.

 

Mumin has now scored two goals and provided an assist in 15 La Liga appearances for Rayo Vallecano in the ongoing season so far.
