Real Madrid mounted a resilient comeback to defeat Mallorca 2-1 at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, extending their perfect start to the LaLiga season. The win marked their 10th consecutive home victory against Los Piratas, despite having three goals disallowed by VAR.
The match began with a sense of déjà vu for Madrid fans as Kylian Mbappe appeared to score an early goal, only for it to be chalked off for offside. The initial disappointment deepened when Vedat Muriqi put Mallorca ahead with a powerful header from a corner in the 18th minute.
Los Blancos responded with sustained pressure, finally breaking through in the 37th minute. Arda Guler scored the equalizer with a header from a well-executed short corner. Just moments later, Vinicius Junior gave Madrid the lead with a clever run and finish into the bottom corner.
In the second half, Madrid continued to dominate, though they faced more frustration with two more goals being disallowed. Both teams had chances, but the host’s defense, led by solid interventions from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alvaro Carreras, held firm.
Ultimately, Madrid’s relentless attack and control of the midfield secured all three points, extending their perfect start to the season. Mallorca, while still on one point, can take some solace in their performance against two of the league’s top teams.
