Higuain after eight minutes, Ronaldo on 22 minutes, Madrid were doing what Madrid would have been expected to have been doing. Dominating. Hemed had a header go wide, Martí had a shot go wide for Mallorca. Other than this, Modric got himself booked, the only negative for Madrid during a stroll in a Palma park in the first half. To be fair, Madrid were not totally dominating, but Mallorca were finding it hard to make any headway, and in the second period, Madrid seemed content to just do enough before Higuain added another with 20 minutes left, killing the game completely, and Ronaldo added to the drubbing with his second five minutes later. And to rub things in, sub Callejón, a tormentor of Mallorca last season, grabbed a fifth just before the whistle. Madrid up to fourth, eight points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, and Mallorca down to eleventh with eleven points, having managed not a single shot on goal.
