Already promoted, Real Valladolid loses against Mallorca in Laliga

Mallorca remains in the fight for Europe . They’ve raised their game again, won, and strengthened their bid for continental spots. A win against Valladolid is doubly significant , as the Balearic team put an end to the doubts on the pitch after two consecutive defeats, while also putting an end to the strained atmosphere of recent matches. Arrasate’s team had to come from behind against a well-established Valladolid team that can do little, nothing, except wait for the end of the season.

Raúl Moro is Valladolid ‘s best player . He has the ability to dribble , have a quality in the ball, and speed . His boots are the source of most of the danger. Dani Rodríguez lost the ball in midfield, and the Valladolid players launched a counterattack in no time. Moro easily beat Valjent and delivered a cross for Chuki to immediately send into the net at the far post.

0-1 in the 11th minute. It could have been worse for the Balearic team, who were caught out early on. But Greif emerged as the savior. The match had started with a double scare for Mallorca. Latasa , first, failed to strike a clear ball in the box, blasting it into the air. Then, the goalkeeper made a fantastic save with his foot to clear Cömert ‘s point-blank shot from just off the goal line .

Mallorca struggled , and Valladolid came close to a 2-0 lead . Greif prevented it again with another fantastic save from Chuki . Having recovered from their slump, Arrasate ‘s team , who were controlling the ball more, came alive after a move by Asano that Ferreira denied . Another great save by a goalkeeper in the match.

Mascarell scored shortly after, and Mallorca calmed down. The number 5 came from behind, connecting at the far post with a Maffeo shot from the right. The score was 1-1 on the half-hour mark . Now Mallorca imposed their game and had a chance to take the lead at halftime, but Ferreira appeared again, and Raíllo’s header went inches wide.

Valladolid’s goal disallowed

Darder can’t be given a single inch. He received the ball from Asano right on the edge of the box, was able to escape pressure from the Valladolid defenders, and slotted it in just inside the post with a classy strike. Mallorca completed the comeback just after the second half began.

A tough blow for the Pucelanos who, like the previous match against Barcelona , ​​took the lead only to see their opponents come back. They suffered another blow when Cenk’s goal , which would have made it 2-2, was ruled out due to Raúl Moro’s offside at the start of the match.

Mallorca, with the advantage, tried to keep possession and control the pace of the match. Muriqi and Antonio Sánchez’s shots narrowly missed, Dani Rodríguez went off injured, and Greif had to fight Latasa to avoid a 2-2 draw near the end. Valladolid sold the defeat dearly, but Arrasate’s men came back in time. They came back… now they’re fighting for Europe.
