Elche CF vs RCD Mallorca

Elche produced a stunning second-half comeback to beat Mallorca 2-1 at the Martínez Valero, ending an agonising 11-game winless run in a result that could define both teams' seasons. Pablo Torre looked to have put the visitors in control when he fired Mallorca ahead on 58 minutes. But Elche hit back with devastating speed — Rafa Mir pounced on a sloppy clearance to equalise just four minutes later, before Tete Morente headed home in the 71st minute to complete the turnaround. Mallorca had one final chance to rescue a point when Vedat Muriqi stepped up for a 92nd-minute penalty, but the striker fired wide to the disbelief of the travelling support. The win lifts Elche one point clear of the drop zone, while Mallorca slip back into the relegation places. With nine games left, every point from here is worth its weight in gold.
