Mallorca is still missing in action in 2025 and the numbers prove it: three games played, three defeats, no goals scored and ten conceded, the last four tonight in Villarreal against a rival who he gave him four in just eight minutes and that could have caused a historic breakdown if he had not taken his foot off the accelerator in the second half. The Arrasate team is physically and mentally sunk and it’s just a joke that he finished the first round with 30 points. On Saturday they host Betis in Son Moix and he is forced to react if he does not want to end up losing everything good he did in the first act of the season.
Mallorca slowed down against a Villarreal that appeared on the field much more involved in the game, which led them to step into the penalty area. Greif often. Yeremi struggled with Mojica in the area, but nothing happened, and Pope Gueye He also tried it after a pass from Álex Baenabut the one who made the barracks was the Cape Verdean Logan Costawho at just 20 minutes headed in the small area from a corner taken by Dani Parejo.
Far from reacting, Mallorca sank even further and that’s where its ordeal began. Álex Baena led from midfield, opened the band on Sergio Cardona and the center from the side was finished off by Baena himself into the net with all his pleasure. Arrasate, out of his mind, couldn’t believe what he saw, but he still had more to fit into. Muriqi lost a ball, Villarreal went on the counterattack and Dani Parejo, coming from behind, scored the third. Almost immediately, with the stadium on fire, Cardona served again from the left and at the far post. Yeremi Pino made the result embarrassing: four goals conceded in eight minutes. There could have been a few more in the first half, but he avoided it Greif.
Arrasate changed four players at half-time and went to the three-center system to avoid an even greater bleeding. The play went well, although it is also true that Villarreal did not want to delve into the wound and, although it came from time to time, it was much more kind to a dedicated rival who ended up scoring 4-0 with which they retired at half-time.
