In an exciting match that saw rapid fluctuations, Real Madrid turned their deficit from a goal into a valuable 2-1 victory over their guests Real Mallorca, in the third round of the Spanish league, which took place last night, Saturday, August 30, 2025.
The visiting team surprised the "Santiago Bernabéu" fans by taking the lead in the 18th minute through striker Vedat Muriqi, benefiting from a defensive confusion in the ranks of the hosts.
However, Real Madrid's response was quick and decisive, as they rallied after Mallorca's goal and managed to score two goals in one minute.
The start was with the young Turkish star Arda Güler, who equalized in the 37th minute, before Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior added the second goal just 60 seconds later, giving the Merengues the lead and victory.
With this victory, Real Madrid raised their tally to 9 points from 3 matches, temporarily topping the standings, while Mallorca's points remained at one from one draw and two losses.
Real Madrid is preparing for a tough test after the international break, as they visit Real Sociedad in the Basque Country on September 13 in the fourth round.
Three days later, they will begin their journey in the Champions League with a strong match against French Marseille.
It is worth noting that Real Madrid's defender commented after the match on the previous performance against Barcelona, describing what happened as a "big mistake," referring to the team's desire to correct the course and compete for all titles this season.
