🇪🇸 Real Madrid open up LaLiga cushion with win at Mallorca | OneFootball

Real Madrid consolidated their comfortable lead atop LaLiga with a narrow win over Mallorca.

Scorers: Tchouaméni 48′

Andriy Lunin had to produce an instinctive reflex stop to deny Matija Nastasić heading home an opener for the hosts midway through the first half.

Little more than a minute later, Jude Bellingham clipped the crossbar for Los Blancos with a sublime attempt from the edge of the penalty area.

But Aurewlién Tchouaméni finally broke the deadlock just three minutes after the interval with a dipping strike from distance to beat Predrag Rajković.

Lunin was again called into action with another crucial save, diving acrobatically to keep out Sergi Darder’s powerful half-volley for the Piratas.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side faced one final scare deep in added time as Vedat Muriqi caught the goalkeeper cold before hooking a potential leveller wide.

Madrid temporarily opened up an 11-point cushion at the summit ahead of Barcelona’s trip to Cádiz later on Saturday.
