Black Stars duo of Lumor Agbenyenu and Iddrisu Baba Mohammed were influential for RCD Mallorca as they recorded a morale boosting 3-1 win over Villarreal at home in the Spanish top-flight league

Both started the encounter with Baba Mohammed playing the entire duration of the match while Lumor Agbenyenu lasted 86 minutes on the pitch before he was replaced following a knock he received in the closing stages of the match

RCD Mallorca head to the break with a two lead scoring both goals from the penalty spot with Ivorian midfielder Lago Junior scoring the first in the 13th minute before Dani Rodriguez converting the second in the 23rd minute of the match

Former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla reduced the deficit for Villarreal four minutes after first half from the game’s third penalty kick before Japanese sensational Takefusa Kubo added a third for RCD Mallorca from the game’s only goal from open play in the 53rd minute to seal a resounding victory for the home side

The on-loan Real Madrid player has become the youngest Japanese player to score a goal in any of the top-five major leagues in Europe at age 18 years and 159 days
