After all the worries of possible relegation, Mallorca went in to this evening's game in seventh place on 49 points, two places and three points behind opponents Levante. The possibility of a Europa League spot had opened up, but with the final match of the season next week away at champions Real Madrid, Mallorca had to win in order to give themselves a realistic shot at European football.
Levante had two chances early on, Mallorca gained the ascendant in the first half and the domination continued into the second period and was confirmed by Pina putting the home side ahead on 54 minutes. Not exactly an open and flowing game, but Mallorca were rarely troubled. And so they took three points, going above Levante and finding themselves in sixth place.
Mallorca:
Aouate; Nsue (Cendrós 80), Crespí, Chico, Cáceres; Pina, Martí; Pereira, Alfaro (Hemed 45), Castro; Victor (Marí 87)
Goal: Pina (54)
Yellow: Pereira (90)
Levante:
Munúa; Venta, Ballesteros, Navarro, López (Suárez 72); Torres, Iborra (Juanlu 77); Valdo, Barkero, Botelho; Ghezzal
Yellows: Iborra (60), Munúa (83), Botelho (90)
