However, a late penalty gave the hosts a point after Álvaro Negredo leveled in the 92nd minute.

The Ghana international lasted the entire minutes and was outstanding in the heart of midfield for the visitors.

Baba and Real Mallorca are enjoying a decent campaign so far, and the Reds are currently 12th on the La Liga table.

The 25-year-old has made 12 appearances for the club in La Liga this term and he is hoping they maintain their status in the topflight.

Baba Iddrisu moved to Spain in 2014, where he joined Leganes' youth side and then moved to Real Mallorca B the following season.

After two years with the youth team of Mallorca, he returned to Leganes, and then back to Mallorca again.

He moved to Barakaldo CF the following year but returned to sign a professional deal in 2018 with Real Mallorca.

He has since been a key player, twice helping them secure promotion to the La Liga in three seasons.

Andre Ayew scores his seventh goal of the season

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, Andre Ayew is having a season to remember after bagging his seventh goal in eight games in the Qatari Stars League for Al Sadd as they beat Al Ahli.

The 31-year-old converted from the spot to earn the Wolves their eight successive win of the season, and maintain a firm grip of top spot.
