In stoppage time, Real Madrid ends their five-match winning streak

(Football result) - Vedat Muriqi's late goal created a major shift at both ends of the La Liga standings, as Mallorca defeated Real Madrid 2-1 to escape the relegation zone, while "Los Blancos" missed the chance to close the gap with Barcelona in the title race.

Real Madrid dominated possession from the start but faced significant difficulties against the disciplined play of the home team in the first 15 minutes. The stalemate seemed broken when Antonio Rüdiger's through pass put Kylian Mbappé in a favorable position, but Mallorca's defense retreated quickly to block. Mbappé later delivered a cross for Manuel Ángel to head in, but goalkeeper Leo Román easily caught it.

The French star continued to be the most dangerous threat for Real. He received a long pass from Arda Güler and forced Román to make a foot save, before trying his luck with a cut-back shot but still couldn't beat the home team's keeper.

After half an hour, the stalemate remained unresolved. Shortly later, Román shone again by blocking Güler's volley from Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross. The wasted opportunities cost Real Madrid in the 42nd minute. Pablo Maffeo found space on the right flank before crossing inside for Morlanes, who controlled briefly and finished neatly past Andriy Lunin, scoring the opener with Mallorca's first accurate shot.

After the break, Real Madrid still struggled to find a way into the opponent's goal. In the first 15 minutes of the second half, their most notable chance was again denied by keeper Román. Given the situation, coach Álvaro Arbeloa had to bring in Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior to boost the attack.

However, these two stars didn't make an immediate impact as Mallorca opted to defend deep and wait for counter-attacks. Real Madrid only applied real pressure late in the match, but Aurélien Tchouaméni's shot went off target. Soon after, Éder Militão missed a chance with a header from a set-piece. Yet, the Brazilian defender redeemed himself in the 88th minute by rising high to head home from Alexander-Arnold's corner, equalizing for Real Madrid 1-1.

It seemed the late equalizer would secure at least a point for "Los Blancos," but drama unfolded in stoppage time. Mallorca pushed forward and Mateo Joseph provided a convenient pass for Muriqi to finish powerfully, sealing a 2-1 victory with an unstoppable shot.

This is only Mallorca's second win in their last eight matches, and the first time this season they've beaten a top-7 opponent. Meanwhile, Real Madrid ends their five-match winning streak across all competitions and risks falling 7 points behind in the La Liga title race this weekend.
