Shock at Son Moix: Mallorca Stuns Real Madrid with Last-Gasp Winner

Title Race Blow: Mallorca Overturns Real Madrid in Dramatic Fashion

Real Madrid suffered a massive setback in the La Liga title race following a shocking 2-1 defeat away to Mallorca this Saturday, April 4, 2026. The match at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix ended in high drama, leaving the visitors empty-handed and their championship aspirations in jeopardy.

Mallorca Takes the Lead Against the Run of Play

Despite a dominant start from Los Blancos, it was the home side that drew first blood. Kylian Mbappe missed a golden opportunity in the 21st minute, denied by a superb save from Leo Román. Mallorca punished this wastefulness in the 41st minute when Manu Morlanes headed home a precise cross from Pablo Maffeo, sending the home fans into a frenzy before the halftime whistle.

Militao’s Hope and Muriqi’s Heartbreaker

Real Madrid pushed hard in the second half, searching for a way back into the game. In the 82nd minute, the returning Eder Militao rose highest to power home a header from a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner, equalizing for the visitors. At that moment, it seemed Real Madrid might even find a winner.

However, deep into stoppage time (90+3'), Mallorca launched a clinical counter-attack. The ball found Vedat Muriqi, who kept his composure to slot the ball past Andriy Lunin, securing a historic victory for the islanders and leaving the Madrid stars stunned on the pitch.

League Standings and Consequences

With this result, Real Madrid remains on 69 points in second place, allowing their rivals to potentially extend the gap at the top. On the other hand, Mallorca secures three "golden points," moving to 31 points and taking a significant step toward securing their place in the top flight next season.

FotScore Technical Insight: Rotation Risks

FotScore analysts highlight that the heavy rotation ahead of the Champions League clash with Bayern Munich might have cost Real Madrid their defensive cohesion. The lack of clinical finishing in the first half proved fatal against a Mallorca side that defended with immense heart and clinical efficiency on the break.
