MALLORCA TODAY - Espanyol 1 : 0 Real Mallorca

Mallorca away at Espanyol who were fifth in La Liga before the match, though only six points ahead of Mallorca in fourteenth spot (on 22 points). Things were even enough until the Slovak Vladimir Weiss, once of Manchester City, shot Espanyol ahead. Immediately after half-time, Mallorca having made two changes in the break, goalkeeper Aouate received a red card for a questionable foul on Rui Fonte. Weiss hit the post as soon as Calatayud had come into goal from the free kick resulting from the Aouate incident, and the game got a bit feisty. A man down, Mallorca strove for an equaliser but ended up feeling unlucky and rather harshly done by after a creditable performance from which they deserved to get something.
