Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso was in action for his club side Deportivo Alaves in their La Liga opener with Champions Barcelona.
Wakaso played the full throttle of the game as Alaves lost 3-0 to Barca at the Camp Nou.
Manager Abelardo set up his team to sit deep and defend with Wakaso part of a four-man midfield. He lasted the entire duration of the game, giving a positive account of himself.
However, his compatriot Patrick Twumasi, a summer signing from Astana, failed to make his debut as he was left on the bench.
