In this match, Real Madrid dominated their opponents from the very first minutes. In the 7th minute, Mbappe put the ball into the Mallorca net but after consulting VAR, referee Jose Sanchez denied the goal for offside.

In the 18th minute, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois's net (Real Madrid) shook after a dangerous header from striker Vedat Muriqi... 1-0 for Mallorca. After being doused with cold water, Real Madrid pushed up their attacking formation, creating quite a lot of pressure on goalkeeper Leo Roman's goal.

But it wasn't until the 37th minute that the "white vultures" equalized 1-1 thanks to young midfielder Arda Guler's header into an empty net after a pass from Huijsen.

Exactly 1 minute later, it was Vinicius' turn to shine, dribbling the ball from midfield into the penalty area and then shooting diagonally with his left foot, defeating goalkeeper Leo Roman, raising the score to 2-1.

In the remaining time, Real Madrid created many opportunities, but their strikers could not take advantage of them. In the 45+1 minute, Mbappe put the ball into the Mallorca net again but once again VAR denied the goal for offside.

Not yet finished in the 55th minute, it was Arda Guler's turn to shoot past goalkeeper Leo Roman, but VAR intervened and again denied the goal due to the player's handball.

But with a 2-1 victory, Real Madrid maintained their winning streak after 3 matches and temporarily rose to the top of the La Liga rankings with 9 points.
