On Saturday evening, the fifth round of the Spanish La Liga championship matches took place in Mallorca.
"Mallorca", back in the country's strongest division, welcomed the Madrid team "Real" who were at the top of the tournament table until this round. The hosts scored an early goal, causing "Real" to stumble for the first time this season.
In this match, the "White" team had to play without a bunch of stars: Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Dani Carvajal, Eden Hazard, and others.
In the 7th minute, Lago Junior found space on the right side and with a powerful shot left Thibaut Courtois with no chance, scoring the only goal of the match.
"Real" tried to equalize and even hit the goal post once. Furthermore, the visitors had to play with ten men from the 74th minute, as Alvaro Odriozola received his second yellow card.
The first defeat of the season caused "Real" to lose the lead - they are now one point behind "Barcelona".
For "Mallorca", this was their third victory of the season.
Result:
"Mallorca" 1 - 0 "Real Madrid"
7' [1 - 0] L. Junior
