Frustrated Atletico held at Mallorca as Alvarez misses penalty
Atlético Madrid has earned only six points from five league matches, marking their lowest start since 2009-10, with multiple draws and a recent Champions League loss.
- Atletico Madrid played to a 1-1 draw against Mallorca on Sunday in Spain’s La Liga, with Conor Gallagher scoring before Vedat Muriqi equalized late.
- The match featured key moments including a missed penalty by Atletico’s Julian Alvarez early on and a red card to Alexander Sorloth in the 72nd minute, forcing Atletico to play with ten men.
- Mallorca’s goalkeeper Leo Roman made several crucial saves, including denying Alvarez’s penalty and stopping multiple attempts, while the visitors controlled much of the first half but lacked finishing power.
- Gallagher gave Atletico the lead in the 79th minute following a rebound, despite being down to ten men, but Muriqi headed in a cross from Jan Virgili in the 85th minute to bring Mallorca level; Simeone commented on the team’s resilience and how the equalizer came from a swift counter.
- After the draw, Atletico accumulated only six points in their opening five games— their weakest start since the 2009-10 season—leaving them in 12th place and trailing league leaders Real Madrid by nine points, while Mallorca remained near the bottom in 19th with just two points.
