MALLORCA TODAY - Malaga 1 : 1 Real Mallorca

A good and hardworked away point for Mallorca, Malaga having dominated most of the first half and then also the second until Hemed, continuing his early-season goal rush, headed in from Nsue's assist. Mallorca sat back, as they had for most of the game, and Malaga were able to equalise through Juanmi. A conservative approach from coach Caparrós, which may just have been too conservative.

Caballero; Sánchez, Demichelis, Weligton, Monreal; Camacho, Duda; Portillo, Isco (Joaquín 84), Buananotte (Eliseu 69); Fernández (Juanmi 69)

MALLORCA TODAY - Malaga 3 : 0 Real Mallorca

A generally even first half changed dramatically towards the half hour when the bottom-three club took the lead through a left-foot shot from Fernández and then added a second from Baptista on 40 minutes. The second half started with Malaga all over Mallorca, Baptista scoring his second with a header after eleven minutes. Things didn't get better for a toothless Mallorca, and Malaga ran out easy winners. The result gives Qatari-owned Malaga hope of staying up, they move out of the bottom three for the time being, but for Mallorca, chances of Europe are fading; they are six points behind Athletic Bilbao in sixth spot.
