MALLORCA TODAY - Osasuna 1 : 1 Real Mallorca

Mallorca doing their play-safe, look to hit on the break with the longer-ball away routine. Very little doing therefore in the first half, Osasuna making most of the running. Neither side had bargained for a red card on the 33rd minute when Llorente and Nunes were sent packing for some penalty-area argy-bargy. Osasuna remained dominant in the second period, Mallorca providing minimal threat, and finally, in the 69th minute, that dominance counted, Osasuna sub Sola heading the home side into the lead. But then, almost totally out of the blue, Mallorca hit back, this season's goal machine, Hemed, heading in following a corner and then Joao Victor hitting the bar. A good point for Mallorca, a triumph for patience and trust in a system but whether it will work against better sides than Osasuna remains to be seen.
