MALLORCA TODAY - Real Mallorca 4 : 0 Villarreal

A first half notable as much for its yellow cards as for its actual football, with Mallorca having the best of the game and taking a deserved lead through a Victor header on 40 minutes. The second period started with Mallorca in the ascendant, the veteran Martí heading in after seven minutes and things just getting better for the home side when Victor added his second with nearly 20 minutes gone and defender Nunes headed a fourth three minutes later. And it was game over and a great win for Mallorca over a declining Villarreal in danger of relegation.

MALLORCA TODAY - Real Mallorca 0 : 0 Villarreal

A midday kick-off for the grudge match between Mallorca and Villarreal (all to do with Mallorca having been denied entry into European competition this season) saw a pretty even first half. Mallorca had the better of the second half in terms of attempts on goal, but the game ended up scoreless, thus more or less ensuring Villarreal the fourth Champions League spot. For Mallorca, relegation is still a possibility, but is most unlikely. There are three rounds of matches left this season, and Mallorca are five points and seven places above Osasuna, who play this evening, in 18th spot.

Real Mallorca:
Lux; Cendrós, Nunes, Ramis, Ayoze; Martí (yellow card, 62 min.), Joao Victor (sub. Pina, 71 min.); Pereira (sub. Aki, 60 min.), De Guzmán, Nsue (sub. Castro, 85 min.); Webó

Villarreal:
López; Mario, Musacchio, Marchena, Catalá; Borja Valero, Senna (sub. Wakaso, 53 min.; yellow card, 90 min.), Cazorla (sub. Cani, 65 min.), Bruno; Nilmar, Rossi (sub. Kiko, 76 min.)
