LaLiga: Mojica's Late Goal Seals Dramatic Victory for Mallorca
Mallorca Snatches Win in Wild 3-2 Finish Against Las Palmas
What had seemed like a certain victory for Mallorca turned into a disaster in a matter of seconds...
Mallorca's Mojica scored a late winner to seal a 3-2 comeback win over Las Palmas in an unforgettable match.
Mallorca snapped a three-match winless streak, which had seen them fail to score, with a thrilling 2-3 victory over Las Palmas in Gran Canaria.
The first half was a dull, defensive affair with few notable moments, despite Mallorca's dominance. However, the second half saw a dramatic shift.
One minute into the second half, Dani Rodriguez scored his third goal of the season, capitalizing on Mateo Morey's impressive debut performance. Rodriguez's goal gave Mallorca momentum, and they doubled their lead ten minutes later through Robert Navarro's first goal of the season, set up by Mojica's precise through ball.
As the match entered its final stages, chaos erupted. Las Palmas's Essugo scored a deflected goal off Valjent, narrowing the deficit to 1-2 and setting the stage for a tense finish.
Five minutes later, Las Palmas equalized through Silva's penalty kick, awarded after Muriqi handled the ball in the area. The goal sent the match into chaos.
Mallorca's situation worsened when Captain Antonio Raillo was forced off with a suspected muscle injury, leaving the team reeling.
What had seemed like a certain victory for Mallorca turned into a disaster in a matter of seconds. The referee, prompted by VAR, reviewed an incident involving Muriqi and Las Palmas player Jaime Mata. Muriqi, already booked for the handball, reacted to Mata's provocation by giving him the middle finger, earning a second yellow card and an ejection from the game. Mata also received a yellow card for unsportsmanlike behavior.
In a bizarre and unforgettable conclusion, Mallorca secured a stunning victory. An indirect free kick from inside the six-yard box, awarded due to an obscure law, led to a chaotic sequence of events. After a series of delays, Samu Costa played a short pass, Chiquinho's clever dummy run created space, and Mojica seized the opportunity to blast the winning goal into the top left corner. This absurd finale saw Mallorca, on the verge of collapse, emerge with all three points, leaving an indelible mark on the memories of all who witnessed it.
