Vedat Muriqi’s stoppage-time winner sparked an impressive upset for Mallorca against title-chasing Real Madrid.
Mallorca stunned Real Madrid with a spectacular 2-1 win at the Estadio Mallorca Son Moix on 4 April 2026. Muriqi’s late goal sealed a memorable upset and thrilled the home fans.
Second-placed Real Madrid arrived looking to close the gap on the league leaders. Struggling Mallorca, 18th in La Liga, desperately needed points to boost their survival hopes. Their recent form has been poor, contrasting with Real’s title aspirations.
The visitors dominated early possession, controlling 64% of the ball throughout the game. Mallorca defended resolutely, limiting Real Madrid’s clear chances. Goalkeeper Leo Román made crucial early saves, proving his importance to the team.
Against the run of play, Mallorca found an advance in the 41st minute. Pablo Maffeo launched a precise cross from the right side. Manu Morlanes then guided the ball expertly with a clinical finish. The home crowd erupted as Mallorca took a surprising lead.
Real Madrid went into the break down by just one goal. Carlo Ancelotti faced a major challenge to ignite his side. The changes were expected to provide more offensive impetus and break Mallorca’s stubborn defensive deadlock.
Real Madrid introduced attacking talent early in the second half. Éder Militão, Vinicius Júnior and Jude Bellingham came on in the 59th minute. Mallorca continued to fight hard, earning yellow cards for Leo Román and Martin Valjent.
The pressure from the visitors ended up telling in the 88th minute. Éder Militão, as a substitute, went all the way to get the equalizer at home. He connected well with a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross. It seemed that Real Madrid had taken a vital point.
However, Mallorca delivered a definitive and impressive blow in the first minute of stoppage time. Substitute Mateo Joseph made a fantastic assist and found Vedat Muriqi. The Kosovar forward headed past Real Madrid’s goalkeeper and scored the spectacular winner. The stadium erupted.
Despite Real Madrid’s 64% possession and 15 total shots, Mallorca showed more clinical presence. The home team scored twice with only two shots on goal. Real Madrid’s expected goals (xG) of 1.27 were slightly ahead of Mallorca’s 1.22, but the conversion was key. Leo Román’s five saves were fundamental.
This spectacular 2-1 victory provides Mallorca with a crucial lifeline in their fight against relegation. All three points could be invaluable in their bid for survival. For Real Madrid, the lost points are a severe blow to their challenge for the League title. The result sends shockwaves through the league standings.
Next, Mallorca will try to take advantage of this momentum in their next matches. Real Madrid must regroup quickly to avoid further setbacks as the title race intensifies.
