Match Report
Mallorca pulled off a dramatic comeback at Son Moix, beating Espanyol 2-1 thanks to a stunning late strike from Samú Costa in the 88th minute. The long-range thunderbolt sparked wild celebrations as the hosts snatched all three points in a crucial relegation battle.
Espanyol had taken the lead through Charles Pickel on 35 minutes, but the Swiss midfielder's afternoon took a sharp turn when he was sent off for a foul on Mascarell just after half-time. Down to ten men, the visitors could not hold on, and Pablo Torre pounced on a loose ball to level things up in the 64th minute.
With Espanyol tiring, Samú Costa unleashed his effort from distance to seal a victory that lifts Mallorca to 16th in La Liga on 28 points. For Espanyol, sitting seventh on 37 points, it is another defeat in what has been a winless 2026 so far.
