MALLORCA TODAY - Real Mallorca 1 : 0 Espanyol

The delayed start to this season's La Liga, so Mallorca's first game at home to Espanyol.
An even first half, but Mallorca shading it with more chances on goal. A quarter of an hour into the second half, De Guzmán put Mallorca ahead with a right-foot shot. Espanyol had the greater amount of possession through the second half but couldn't break down a resolute defence that lacks Nunes, as it will for some three months of this season at least. A generally poor game, though, between teams lacking goal scorers, as highlighted by the goal attempts by Mallorca without success. And as for the goalscorer, De Guzmán may well be on his way to Villarreal. Excellent start, nonetheless, for Mallorca.

Aouate; Zuiverloon, Chico, Ramis, Cáceres; Martí, Tejera (Victor, 67); Alfaro (Castro, 60), De Guzmán, Nsue; Tomer Hemed (Pina, 77)
Goal: De Guzmán (62 mins)
Yellows: Ramis (33 mins); Tomer Hemed (42 mins)
