Mallorca 1-0 Real Madrid: Disaster-class sees Barcelona remain at La Liga top

Sloppy Real Madrid fell to a 1-0 defeat to Mallorca, which means Barcelona remain at La Liga top. Odriozola got sent off with two yellow cards.

Match Report

Lago Junior's superb early strike proved enough for Real Mallorca to claim a famous win over Real Madrid, who had Alvaro Odriozola sent off.

With Barcelona having leapfrogged Zinedine Zidane's side to lead the way in LaLiga earlier on Saturday, Madrid needed a victory to move back to the top of the pile.

But Mallorca had other ideas and Lago stunned Madrid seven minutes by sending what was the home side's only shot on target in the entire match into the bottom-right corner.

Karim Benzema hit the crossbar before substitute Rodrygo Goes squandered a presentable chance and Madrid's hopes of a comeback were all but over when Alvaro Odriozola saw red in the 74th minute, with Mallorca holding firm to claim their first win over Los Blancos since 2009.
