BREAKING: #Mallorca Stun Real #Madrid In Fresh Title Boost For #Barcelona—-Real Madrid fell apart in a 1-0 loss to Mallorca, giving Barcelona a five-point cushion at the top of La Liga ahead of their match later tonight.
Thirteen minutes in, Mallorca managed a counter that saw Dani Rodriguez cross the ball to Vedat Muriqi, whose looping header clipped Nacho before curving over Andriy Lunin and into the back of the net.
After going behind, countless fouls were committed by both teams, and the visitors’ frustration was evident as they tried to find an equaliser.
At the half-time whistle, several players in white got into the referee’s face and Dani Ceballos was promptly booked for dissent.
After sending wave after wave of attacks in the second half, Madrid earned a penalty after Predrag Rajkovic clipped Vinicius Jr. The keeper, however, rectified his mistake by saving Marco Asensio’s poor penalty as the woes for Carlo Ancelotti’s side continued.
Mallorca will hope to take the positives from the win against their upcoming match against Sevilla, while Madrid head to the Club World Cup with the possibility of league leaders Barcelona extending the gap to eight points before they come back to face Elche.
