RCD Mallorca made unwanted history on Sunday becoming the 1st La Liga team in over 17 year to receive 2 red card in the first half of opening round match according to Opta statistics.

Double Blow at Son Moix

The Balearic club suffered 2 major setbacks in their clash with Barcelona. Manu Morlanes was sent off in the 33 minute followed shortly after by striker Vedat Muriqi in the 38. Mallorca were left to play with 9 men for the remainder of the game.

The last time such scenario occurred was back in Aug 2007 when Getafe saw 2 player dismissed against Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
