Real Madrid locked horns with Mallorca at the Campo de fútbol de Son Moix earlier tonight as they looked to secure a positive result on the road in La Liga. Los Blancos made a good start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 13th minute when Rodrygo found the back of the net. Carlo Ancelotti’s men sat on their lead well and went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
However, Vedat Muriqi equalised for the home team in the 53rd minute. Real Madrid struggled to score the winning goal in the second half. To make matters worse, Ferland Mendy was sent off by the referee in injury time as Los Blancos had to settle for a lackluster 1-1 draw away from home.
