With superior strength compared to their opponents, Barca was not afraid even though they had to play away, and they rushed to attack right after the opening whistle. It only took 7 minutes for Barca's attack to penetrate Mallorca's net.

And the most anticipated player of the season, Lamine Yamal, shone. He made a very smart pass from the right wing, completely eliminating the Mallorca defenders for Raphinha to rush in and head the ball into the goal, opening the score 1-0 for Barca.

In the 23rd minute, Yamal had a very strong shot that hit defender Raíllo (Mallorca) in the head, causing this player to lie injured in the penalty area. At that time, the ball bounced and created an opportunity for Ferran Torres to shoot from outside the penalty area to score, raising the score to 2-0.

Things got even easier for Barca when the home team kept losing players in the remaining minutes of the first half. First, Manu Morlanes received a second yellow card and was sent off after a foul on Yamal before the 16.50m mark in the 33rd minute, then Muriqi received a straight red card in the 39th minute for kicking goalkeeper Joan Garcia in the head.

Playing with more players in the remaining 50 minutes, Barca continued to press the field and created many dangerous opportunities but their strikers could not take advantage. It was not until the 90+4 minute that Yamal raised the score to 3-0, with a familiar dribble and a shot with the inside of his left foot that sent the ball straight into the top corner, leaving goalkeeper Dominik Greif standing and watching.

With this victory, Barca and Yamal have had a very impressive start in their journey to defend the La Liga championship this season.
