In their LaLiga match on March 15, 2025, RCD Mallorca edged out RCD Espanyol with a 2-1 victory at Estadi de Son Moix in Palma, Spain.
The match was marked by controversy, particularly regarding the awarding and repetition of penalties. Mallorca’s Vedat Muriqi had a penalty saved by Espanyol’s goalkeeper, Joan García, in the 62nd minute. Later, in stoppage time, Abdón Prats of Mallorca had his initial penalty saved but was given another chance after a perceived infringement by Espanyol’s Marash Kumbulla. Muriqi converted the retaken penalty, securing the win for Mallorca.
Adding to the drama, the match’s added time became a focal point. While the referee signaled eight minutes of stoppage time, only about three minutes of actual play occurred before Vedat Muriqi’s decisive goal in the 96th minute. The match concluded at 101:47, leading to further disputes over the handling of added time.
This win propelled RCD Mallorca to seventh place in the LaLiga standings, while RCD Espanyol continues to struggle, remaining in the lower half of the table.
