MALLORCA TODAY - Zaragoza halt Mallorca's revival

Real Mallorca 2 : 4 Real Zaragoza
Having taken ten points from their last four games and so kick started a season that threatened to be another struggle, Mallorca came up against Zaragoza, a team that had also been relegated from La Liga, and came unstuck. Three goals in ten minutes by the visitors leading up to half-time were only partially offset by central defender Agus's header right on half-time. A red card for Zaragoza's Abraham before the break could have been the cue for Mallorca to get right back in the game, but Barkero put Zaragoza 4-1 up within ten minutes of the break, Victor replying with a penalty five minutes later. But there were to be no more goals from Mallorca or from Zaragoza. Mallorca slip, for now, to sixteenth in Liga Adelante.
