Mallorca took the lead just before half-time through Manu Morlanes, who finished from close range after a defensive lapse to make it 1-0 in the 41st minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real Madrid pushed hard for a response and eventually found it late on. \u00c9der Milit\u00e3o rose to head home the equaliser in the 88th minute, seemingly rescuing a point for the visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Mallorca had the final word. Deep into stoppage time, Vedat Muriqi finished off a counterattack in the 90+2 minute to seal a stunning 2-1 victory. The stats highlight how frustrating this result will be for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They controlled 64 per cent possession, had six shots on target, and forced five saves. Mallorca, by contrast, managed just two shots on target but scored twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid\u2019s goalkeeper was not compelled into a single save, yet they still conceded twice, exposing costly lapses at crucial moments. It was a classic case of control without a decisive edge. This is a significant blow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real Madrid had the chance to stay level at the top, but instead dropped points against a side fighting near the bottom. The defeat hands the advantage to their rivals, Barcelona, and ramps up the pressure as the final stretch approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this stage of the season, efficiency wins titles, not possession. Mallorca demonstrated that. Madrid will have to respond swiftly or risk seeing the title slip away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Madrid suffered a 2-1 damaging defeat to RCD Mallorca, with a stoppage-time winner sealing a dramatic upset in the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246597,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[96,97],"class_list":["post-246596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-stories","tag-rcd-mallorca","tag-real-madrid"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
