In the first half, the hosts did not score a penalty, but still put the finishing touches on their unyielding opponents
Barcelona managed to win a labor victory over Mallorca in the match of the 28th round of the Spanish Examples – 1:0.
Xavi’s team dominated almost the entire game and could have taken the lead at the end of the first half. Raphinha was brought down on the corner of the opponent’s penalty area, but Predrag Rajkovic saved Ilkay Gundogan’s penalty.
After the break, Robert Lewandowski came onto the field and took part in the goal. He passed the ball to Lamin Yamal, and then the 16-year-old prodigy did everything there, sending the ball into the far corner with a technical strike.
Without much difficulty, the Catalans retained a minimal victory over an unyielding opponent – just remember the islanders’ recent victories over Real Sociedad and Girona.
The victory allowed the Blue Garnets to at least temporarily get ahead of Girona and rise to second place. On Tuesday, Xavi’s team will host Napoli in the return match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League (the first meeting brought a 1:1 draw). And on March 17, the Catalans will play away against Atlético.
Mallorca remained in 15th position with 27 points. In the next round, Javier Aguirre’s team will host Granada.
