The Mallorca vs Girona match at the Iberostar Estadi ended with a 1-0 victory for the home side. Mallorca's only goal came in the first half via an own goal by Girona's Samuele Longo.
The game was a tight affair, with both teams displaying strong defensive strategies. Mallorca had a slightly higher shot count (14 to 9) and controlled 49% of the possession. Girona, despite having a 51% possession rate, seemed unable to breach the Mallorca defence for long stretches. The match was marked by a significant number of yellow cards – 7 for Mallorca and 3 for Girona.
The most exciting moment might have been Mallorca's substitution of Thierry Moutinho for Emmanuel Culio in the 32nd minute. This sparked a renewed sense of attack, and with Culio, Mallorca was able to dominate possession in the final stages of the game.
Overall, Mallorca's measured approach and strategic substitutions were key to their victory. Despite Girona's efforts to push for an equalizer, Mallorca held firm, demonstrating their ability to defend their lead and convert chances when they arose.
