Mallorca puts an end to Real Sociedad’s jinx and it shoots at eight points in the upper middle zone of the classification after a penalty goal scored by Abdón in the first half that was enough to beat a rival that had not lost in Palma since 2012, but that showed that this season has nothing to do with the previous ones. Great defensive game from Arrasatewho gave absolutely nothing, although the great protagonist was Sergi Darderwho had his best performance with the red shirt.
It took less than two minutes for Real Sociedad to shoot on goal. Sergio Gomez He unleashed a left-footed shot from the right that forced Leo Román to intervene. It was not a clear opportunity, but it did serve for the San Sebastian team to begin to mark territory against a very cautious Mallorca at the start of the game. Antonio Raíllo responded for the first time with a header that went wide after a corner kick. It was more dangerous Barrenechea almost later with a Vaseline that caught again Leo Roman.
Sergi Darder was the next to try at eleven minutes with a shot from outside the area that now required Remiro. It was the consequence of the improvement of Mallorcawho at minute ten had finally managed to find his place in a match that was now very even. At 14 minutes a counterattack led by Darder ended with a cross from Mojica which he narrowly missed Larin. The Canadian had the 1-0 lead again at 26 minutes, but Aihen caught the ball at the last moment.
The party is increasingly leaning towards the domestic side, what was seen coming ended up arriving for a while, although it was thanks to someone else’s mistake. At 34 minutes Barrenechea took his hand out for a walk in the area before a center Samú Costa and the VAR caught him. Abdón converted the penalty from eleven meters and gave Mallorca an advantage, which was already much better than Real Sociedad.

The 1-0 completely changed the landscape and forced Imanol Alguacil to take action on the matter. Kubo appeared after the break to replace an ineffective Sergi Gómez and Real tried to regain control of a match that they had lost for a long time. Barrenechea tried to get rid of the mistake in the penalty in the 51st minute, but his shot went into limbo. Mallorca’s response to the San Sebastian offensive was devastating. Sergi Darder enabled Larin, who headed into the net, but not even that is worth it to the Canadian. The VAR showed that by a few centimeters he was ahead and the goal was disallowed.
Real Sociedad stayed alive in the match, but all their attacks were sterile. The Croatian Sucic was the most in tunebut it was not enough to even worry Mallorca who had no problems maintaining their lead until the end.
