Mallorca relegated from LaLiga despite thrashing Real Oviedo in final round

[p]Knowing that only a win would do, the crowd inside the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix grew increasingly nervous after a slow start from the hosts.[/p][p]In fact, they almost got off to a disastrous start when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/carmo-david/4ANgblVo/"]David Carmo[/a] found space in the six-yard box, but he didn’t connect properly with the header.[/p][p]If anything, that ignited something in [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/mallorca/4jDQxrbf/"]Mallorca[/a], as they took the game to the visitors with their attacking efforts spearheaded by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/asano-takuma/lrscbe6I/"]Takuma Asano[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/muriqi-vedat/CjwNDgqi/"]Vedat Muriqi[/a].[/p][p]Asano had the first real chance of the game for the home side after bursting clear on the right wing, but his driven effort across goal evaded the far post. [/p][p]Muriqi was next to threaten and should’ve done better with a header after being left unmarked, but he powered it straight at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/moldovan-horatiu/SxjadbLU/"]Horatiu Moldovan[/a], who made the save.[/p][image alt="Match momentum" id="d05f4080-8ba8-4cb3-99d7-8a3eaf901a69" credit-line="Opta by StatsPerform" guid="49982b22-3d64-4b06-a4da-687229b2db3f" original-width="1920" original-height="1080" /][p]With news filtering through that results elsewhere were going against them, the home crowd was given something to cheer about with the opener just before half-time.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/maffeo-pablo/KvHXl88g/"]Pablo Maffeo[/a]’s deep cross looked like it was potentially overhit, but [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/torre-carral-pablo/4WR4dTws/"]Pablo Torre[/a] kept the attack alive with a perfectly timed run before a cushioned first-time volley gave Los Piratas the lead. [/b][/p][p]With their fate out of their hands, the home crowd became increasingly glued to their phones as they followed other games.[/p][p]On the pitch, Mallorca almost doubled their lead on 55 minutes, but [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/darder-sergi/On7NYLWr/"]Sergi Darder[/a]’s deflected shot cracked the post before bobbling into the grateful arms of Moldovan.[/p][p][b]In truth, the visitors did little to trouble [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/roman-leonardo/pIgzAKRr/"]Leo Roman[/a], but the three points were secured on 83 minutes when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/morlanes-manu/nerrfVfR/"]Manu Morlanes[/a] drilled a volley into the ground, which looped into the top corner to make it 2-0.[/b][/p][embed guid="462d8943-c080-4165-9843-c71f60e8a1f4" url="https://x.com/RCD_MallorcaEN/status/2058291446264758761" social-type="twitter" /][p][b]Some gloss was added to the scoreline on 88 minutes when Muriqi crashed the ball in from close range, ending an impressive individual campaign on 23 La Liga goals.[/b][/p][p]Despite the three points, Mallorca find themselves relegated in 18th position, losing out on the tie-breaker with Osasuna and Levante, who also finished on 42 points.
