Mallorca and Barcelona share the spoils in a match in which the Vermillions took the lead twice thanks to goals from Vedat Muriqi and Abdón Prats. On the Barça side, Raphinha scored first, hitting a low shot with his left foot to beat Pregrag Rajkovic. In the second half, Xavi Hernández’s changes took effect and after a combined play of pure imagination, Fermín López put things in place from the back. Barça continued to press for another comeback in the final minutes, but it was Cyle Larin who had the golden opportunity: a quick counter and a shot with everything in favor that went wide.
With this result, Barcelona avoids another defeat and increases the distance compared to Girona. However, the draw in Son Moix gives the Girona team the chance to become the sole leader of LaLiga with a victory over Villarreal next Wednesday. Mallorca, for its part, has still not won on its own field: there have already been two draws and one defeat on its own field in this start to the championship.

90′ + 8′Final match in Son Moix!!
75′GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BY FERMÍN LÓPEZ!!! Majorca 2-2 BARCELONA. Tie Son Moix!! Beautiful collective piece with which Lamine Yamal begins. The ball goes through Raphinha and ends up at the feet of Fermín López, who comes from behind and beats Predrag Rajkovic at will.
66′MUÑIZ RUIZ GOES TO THE VAR!! The Pontevedra referee wants to judge Lamine Yamal’s action with José Copete alone. It is checked whether there is contact.
65′The piece is being assessed. Mallorca’s players ask referee Muñiz Ruiz to look at it on the VAR monitor.
64′PENALTY FOR BARCELONA!! In his first action with the ball, Lamine Yamal drives with speed and ends up on the ground after José Copete’s entry.
54′Fuck it!! Star João Félix the ball on the wood!! Quality shot from the Portuguese from the front, which is his best chance in this second half.
Rest in Palma!! Mallorca goes into halftime with the minimal lead thanks to Abdón Prats’ goal in extra time, the result of the lack of communication between the Barcelona defense. The Balearic striker’s goal broke the 1-1 draw that Raphinha had set with a great low shot that had raised the Blaugranas’ morale. Xavi’s team had more possession (almost 70% possession) and had good minutes of high pressing, but their defensive failures were the key to the locals’ temporary victory. Vedat Muriqi gave his team the lead after Marc-André ter Stegen’s mistake when taking the ball away.
45′ + 3′GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BY ABDÓN PRATS!!! MALLORCA 2-1 Barcelona. The advantage once again belongs to the Balearic Islands!! Abdón Prats is left alone in front of Marc-André ter Stegene and uses his lead to put his team ahead again. It all starts with a goal kick from Predrag Rajkovic.
41′GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BY RAPHINHA!!! Majorca 1-1 BARCELONA. Tables in Son Moix!! Oriented control and low shot from Raphinha to put the ball near the right post. Great left foot against which Predrag Rajkovic can do nothing.
8′GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BY VEDAT MURIQI!!! MALLORCA 1-0 Barcelona. The vermilion team is moving forward!! Terrible error in Marc-André ter Stegen’s ball delivery allowing Mallorca to score with their first shot on target. Antonio Sánchez takes advantage of the German goalkeeper’s failure and assists a Vedat Muriqi who finishes without a goal.
The referee Alejandro Muñiz Ruiz, belonging to the Galician Referees’ Commission, will be responsible for the administration of justice during tonight’s match. The referee from Pontevedra, who is in his third consecutive season in the elite of Spanish football, will be assisted in VAR by Eduardo Prieto Iglesias, assigned to the Navarrese territorial committee.
