MALLORCA TODAY - Real Sociedad 3 : 0 Real Mallorca

A game which arguably all turned on an incident in the 29th minute when Márquez, having been booked, then handled the ball and was sent off, a decision that looked more questionable when a Sociedad player, Ángel, did the same and escaped punishment. But Sociedad had come out the blocks faster than Mallorca and had looked more likely to score, though it wasn't until the second half that numerical advantage kicked in, Castro putting Sociedad ahead after 55 minutes before Vela and the Ifrán wrapped up what became an easy win. At home against 17th-placed Osasuna next week for Mallorca, a game that they need to win as they are now four points adrift of Osasuna in 19th.

MALLORCA TODAY - Real Sociedad 1 : 0 Real Mallorca

Mallorca away in the Basque Country to the team they put six past in the cup but which they did lose to in the first leg of that tie in San Sebastián.

Sociedad were quicker out of the blocks and in control until midway in the first half when Mallorca began to come into things more, Ramis having the best chance with a header saved by Bravo. A spate of corners gave Mallorca the early ascendancy in the second half, but these didn't lead to anything. Even enough, Sociedad then broke the deadlock after a phase of pressure when Agirretxe put them ahead. Disappointing for Mallorca; a game against a similarly placed team that they would have hoped for a point from.

Sociedad:
Bravo; Estrada, González, Martínez, Cadamuro; Bergara, Aranburu (Pardo 68); Vela (Prieto 79), Zurutuza, Griezmann; Agirretxe (Llorente 82)

Yellows: Bergara (58), Llorente (90+)

MALLORCA TODAY - (Copa del Rey) Real Sociedad 2 : 0 Real Mallorca

The first leg of the latest round of the Spanish equivalent of the FA Cup, the Copa del Rey, Mallorca away in San Sebastián at Real Sociedad. The home side had most of the possession in the first half but Mallorca, for once, outpassed an opposition. However, Sociedad went in at half-time one-up, thanks to a header from Aranburu after quarter of an hour. And soon into the second period the lead was extended by Agirretxe. While efforts on goal evened themselves out, a familiar failure to convert scoring opportunities let Mallorca down. A two-nil deficit, the return leg is on 10 January.
