MALLORCA TODAY - Real Mallorca 1 : 1 Valencia

Joaquín Caparrós's first game in charge as new coach of Mallorca, and one of the tougher assignments he could have faced. And tough it was. Valencia were all over Mallorca in the first half, centre-back Rami putting them in the lead shortly before half time. More positive from Mallorca after the break, Pereira to the fore in particular, efforts on goal coming in, but both teams guilty of some wayward shooting. And then, astonishingly, a handball by Mehmet in the area in time added on, and Hemed, incapable of scoring from open play but deadly from the spot, converted the penalty. 1-1, a bit of a let off for Mallorca, but reward for an improvement in the second period.
