MALLORCA TODAY - Real Mallorca 1 : 1 Atlético Madrid

The Christmas break finished, the off-field board disruption ongoing, time for the Mallorca team to get back on the field, hosting second-placed Atlético. In the first half, the visitors were all over Mallorca, without really creating too many threatening opportunities. The dominance continued into the second half, the woodwork intervening before García, who had hit the bar, finally scored for Atlético. The game apparently sealed up, Mallorca stunned Atlético when Kevin scored with four minutes to go after a Nunes header had caused panic in the Atlético defence. Dos Santos then saw a direct free kick hit a post. Had it gone in, it would have given Mallorca an astonishing win. As it is, the draw was pretty astonishing. Up against it for the most of the game, an encouraging point for struggling Mallorca.
