Matchday 1 of La Liga featured a showdown between promoted Las Palmas and Mallorca, who narrowly escaped relegation at the end of last season. At home, the players of Francisco Garcia Pimienta opened the scoring on a penalty thanks to their captain Jonathan Viera (29th, 1-0) and rallied the locker room with this small advantage.
Back on the meadow, Dani Rodriguez’s teammates returned with better intentions. At the dawn of the last quarter of an hour, the visitors also found the resources to equalize through Antonio Raillo (72nd, 1-1) and save the point from the draw. A disappointing result for both teams.
