Vicente Engonga
Vicente Engonga Maté (born 20 October 1965) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played mainly as a central midfielder but occasionally as a sweeper.
He played for six clubs in his career, having his most successful spell at Mallorca after signing in 1997 aged 31. In total, he appeared in 327 La Liga matches and scored eight goals over 11 seasons.
Engonga was a Spanish international for two years, and represented the country at Euro 2000.
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia of Equatorial Guinean descent, Engonga spent his childhood in the Cantabria region, where his father was a footballer. He started his senior career with local lower league side Gimnástica de Torrelavega, then joined CF Sporting Mahonés.
In 1991, Engonga moved to Real Valladolid in La Liga. The club was relegated to Segunda División and he left for RC Celta de Vigo, with whom he was a finalist in the 1994 Copa del Rey.
Engonga was bought by Valencia CF in summer 1994, spending three seasons at the Mestalla Stadium. After a shaky start, he made 35 appearances in 1996–97, although the Che finished tenth.
Subsequently, Engonga signed with RCD Mallorca who were coached by Héctor Cúper, along with five discarded teammates including Iván Campo. He displayed his best football at the Balearic Islands side, helping them win the 1998 Supercopa de España after beating FC Barcelona 3–1 on aggregate. Also that year, they reached the final of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, losing 2–1 to SS Lazio.
During the 2000–01 campaign, Engonga scored twice in 31 league games as his team finished third, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League for the first time. In their first match in the competition, he scored the only goal to defeat Arsenal at Son Moix, an 11th-minute penalty after Ashley Cole was sent off for fouling Albert Luque.
