Vedat Muriqi has been the author of the first goal of the Real Madrid vs. Mallorca match, in the context of matchday 20 of LaLiga Santander at Son Moix. The Kosovar forward impressed with a great header to leave the goalkeeper Lunin standing, who entered the starting lineup in the last minute after an injury to Thibaut Courtois in the pre-match warm-up.
When 13 minutes had passed in the first half, Rodríguez crossed the ball from the left looking for Muriqi. In a dispute with Nacho, the Kosovar scored a header that left Lunin with no chance. However, it was later determined that there was an own goal by the Real Madrid defender.
After Mallorca's 1-0, there were no more clear goal chances. Neither the Balearic nor Real Madrid. The only thing worth noting in the final stretch of the first half was a yellow card for Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian will therefore miss the next league match against Elche.
