Real Madrid grind out victory against Mallorca with late Rudiger header

Posted : 04 January 2024

Real Madrid secured a hard-fought victory over Mallorca with Antonio Rudiger's late header proving decisive. Despite Mallorca hitting the woodwork twice, Rudiger found the net in the 78th minute, connecting with Luka Modric's precise left-wing corner.

 

The win extended Real Madrid's unbeaten streak to 18 games in all competitions. However, second-placed Girona, matching Real on points, reclaimed parity at the top by defeating Atletico Madrid 4-3, with Ivan Martin scoring the winning goal in the 91st minute.

 

The match marked Carlo Ancelotti's return as Real Madrid's manager after extending his contract, dismissing speculation about his potential move to the Brazil national team. Vinicius Jr made a comeback, showcasing his skills after nearly two months out with a hamstring injury.

Despite Vinicius testing Mallorca's goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic on two occasions, Mallorca had their chances, striking the woodwork twice. England's Jude Bellingham, La Liga's top scorer with 13 goals, had a notable attempt saved by Rajkovic.

 

Real Madrid's dominance grew after Mallorca's near misses, with substitute Brahim Diaz hitting the post from close range. The blushes were spared when Rudiger scored the only goal, securing Real's ninth win in their last ten games.

 

In the Girona versus Atletico Madrid clash, Girona's early lead through Valery Fernandez's goal was equalized by Alvaro Morata. Savio and Daley Blind added goals for Girona, while Morata completed a hat-trick for Atletico. In a thrilling turn of events, Ivan Martin's last-minute goal secured a 4-3 victory for Girona.
