The Uruguayan midfielder Federico Valverde was the author of the 1-1 tie goal between Real Madrid vs. Mallorca in the framework of the fifth round of LaLiga Santander at Santiago Bernabeu stadium. After a spectacular run, practically from his own area, the former Peñarol player reached the area of Javier Aguirre's team to decree the parity.
A header from Vedat Muriqi at 35 minutes, unmarked on the second post after a set piece, put Real Mallorca ahead at Santiago Bernabeu stadium against a Real Madrid that dominated without scoring until the appearance in injury time of Fede Valverde to make it 1-1 at halftime.
For the fifth consecutive matchday, Thibaut Courtois couldn't keep a clean sheet and Real Madrid will have to come back in the second half if they want to maintain their perfect record and not concede the lead to Barcelona.
Uruguayan Fede Valverde took the first step with a great display of skill, running the length of the field before connecting a powerful shot to the top corner.
