The result means that Mallorca climb out of the bottom three in the table with their second consecutive victory! Madrid, meanwhile, suffer the double blow of a first defeat of the season and surrendering top spot to rivals Barcelona.
Well, Mallorca have secured themselves a famous victory today! They went ahead early on through Lago's brilliant curling effort and then defended diligently for the rest of the 90. They only appeared troubled when Benzema latched onto a Rodriguez through ball and clipped the bar with a delicate shot past Reina. Madrid worked hard to try and engineer an opening in the second period, but in truth, they struggled to create any opportunities inside the box.
