A late punch at Son Moix

Morlanes opened the scoring in the 41st minute, steering in after a fine right‑side cross from Pablo Maffeo. It was one of Mallorca’s two shots on target and it went in.

Real Madrid pushed late and finally equalized on 88 minutes when Trent Alexander-Arnold’s deep cross found Militão for a header. The stadium barely had time to wobble before Mallorca struck again: substitute Mateo Joseph slipped Muriqi in and the striker finished right-footed for 2-1 at 90+1.

There were seven minutes of drama packed into the final ten, capped by five minutes of stoppage time and a few time‑wasting yellows to keep the whistle busy.

Mallorca’s plan worked without the ball

In a 4-3-1-2, Mallorca ceded possession but protected their box. They posted 15 interceptions to Madrid’s 3 and cleared 28 balls, with David López contributing five clearances and a last‑man tackle in only 20 minutes.

Set pieces helped the hosts flip field position too. Mallorca won the corner count 6-4 and were more direct with long balls, which drew fouls and slowed Madrid’s rhythm.

Goalkeeper Leo Román made five saves and prevented 0.26 goals by Sofascore’s model. He took a late yellow for time management, but his earlier work made it worthwhile.

Madrid controlled, but missed their chances

Real Madrid had 64% possession, 15 shots to 6, and 41 touches in the box compared to Mallorca’s 12. Kylian Mbappé fired six shots and posted 0.55 xG, but missed two big chances as the final touch deserted him.

Creators showed up. Arda Güler made four key passes and 0.54 expected assists, while Alexander-Arnold delivered nine crosses and supplied the equalizer. Aurélien Tchouaméni was Madrid’s most complete performer, winning tackles, progressing play and topping their Sofascore Rating chart.

Madrid also stepped the line often, flagged offside five times. The visitors were without several regulars, including Thibaut Courtois and Federico Valverde, but still manufactured enough to take something home.
