If the start of the match was to the advantage of the visitors, Rodrygo rewarded a good start with a masterpiece that he is used to. With a sublime curling shot, the Brazilian gives the advantage to the Madrilenians. If Mbappé is quite discreet, he does not hesitate to struggle to take up space, make the difference, serve his teammates or make defensive withdrawals. À At the break, Real Madrid led but had a weak time at the end of the first half after several chances from the Bermellones and their flagship striker, Muriqi. 

After the break, the scenario was the same. The locals tried their luck and eight minutes after the start of the second half, Dani Rodriguez found Muriqi's header from a corner. While Mbappé was marking him, the striker jumped higher than Militão to head home from close range. After the equalizer, Vinicius tried his best to to make the difference on their own but the Mallorca players were determined to create the feat. If Courtois kept the Madrid home intact after the equalizer, it was chaos in the encounter where the ball went from one camp to the other. Finally, the two teams held each other in check on this first day of the Spanish championship. À note the direct expulsion of Ferland Mendy at the end of the match, author of a huge tackle from behind on Muriqi in added time.
