In Spain, Mallorca achieved a remarkable comeback victory over Valencia in a La Liga match held on Friday. The home team initially faced a setback when Valencia's Luis Rioja converted a penalty kick, putting Mallorca behind in the first half. However, just before halftime, Cyle Larin equalized for Mallorca by skillfully redirecting a well-placed pass into the net from a tight angle during injury time. The match became more intense in the second half as both teams sought to seize control. The decisive moment came in the 81st minute when substitute Adbón Prats scored an impressive header, connecting perfectly with a curling cross from Sergi Darder to give Mallorca the lead. As a result of this victory, Mallorca now sits comfortably in fifth place in the league standings, highlighting their strong performance this season. This win marks the seventh triumph under the guidance of new head coach Jagoba Arrasate, who took charge during the offseason after previously coaching Osasuna. On the other hand, Valencia is now facing a critical situation as they find themselves in the relegation zone and have two additional matches to rectify their standing in the league, leading to concerns about their future performances and stability in La Liga.
