For the 15th day of La Liga, Valencia CF traveled to Mallorca in an expected duel. The che club was first relegated before its trip to the Balearic Islands, eighth after 14 days and capable of temporarily climbing into the European places in the event of a victory. Without their Kosovar striker Muriqi, suspended due to the red he received in Las Palmas last week, RCD Mallorca conceded the opener with a penalty converted by Luis Rioja after half an hour of play (1-0, 32nd ).
The Spanish striker then saw his Canadian counterpart Larin score the equalizing goal in added time of the first period (1-1, 45+3rd). Three minutes after coming into play, Mallorcan Prats, found by former Lyonnais Darder, gave the advantage ten minutes from the end of regulation time (2-1, 81st). In the ranking, the winner Mallorca gains three provisional places and enters the top 5 of the ranking. Valencia, with two matches in hand, remains the first relegation place in the Iberian championship and could even occupy the bottom place in the event of victories for Espanyol (hosting Celta) and Real Valladolid (hosting Atlético).
