MALLORCA TODAY - Valencia 2 : 2 Real Mallorca

Mallorca on the road at Valencia, third in La Liga, and the initial exchanges showed why there was a fourteen point gap between the two teams at start of play, Valencia coming out all guns blazing against a defensive-looking Mallorca, hitting a post and inevitably taking the lead on 22 minutes through Tino Costa. Valencia in complete control, Aduriz adding a second four minutes before the break. It looked the same again for Valencia in the second period, but Nsue pegged one back out of the blue for Mallorca. Game on, and even more so when Victor equalised nine minutes later. The battering that Valencia were then giving Mallorca turned to frustration when Costa was straight red-carded, and the frustration was complete for Valencia as Mallorca held on to gain an astonishing point.
