  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Real Madrid
    • Mallorca
    • 90' The referee blows the final whistle, a humiliating fourth defeat in a row for Madrid, whose fans boo them off.
    • 87' Long-range drive from Arango but well wide.
    • 85' Parejo with a lob but straight at Moya.
    • 83' MALLORCA SUB: Jurado is off for Webo.
    • 80' Good ball to the far post for Keita but he can't quite get there and puts it wide.
    • 76' Arango has a pop from range and Casillas spills, Keita is in and it could be four but the flag is up, he was well offside when the shot came in.
    • 75' Higuain almost gets in but Navarro with a very good challenge to get it clear. Still with Real but Robben can't get the shot away.
    • 74' Drenthe late on Arango, yellow card and a free-kick on the right.
    • 72' Parejo tries one from distance but well wide.
    • 70' Keita, who just came on as a sub, is played in on the right-centre, no-one bothers to challenge him, he shifts it on to his right foot and smashes it into the roof of the net. Rubbish from Real. They can't be bothered and haven't been since they actually had a chance to win the title.
    • 68' MADRID SUB: Marcelo off for Drenthe.
    • 67' Robben interchanges with Parejo but the latter shoots wide.
    • 65' Real's corner is put out for a throw, Marcelo cuts inside, plays a one-two and shoots but well over.
    • 64' The free-kick comes to nothing and Real get down the other end and win a corner.
    • 63' Free-kick to Mallorca on the right, Santana to take...
    • 62' Real look seriously disjointed after going to three at the back. Weird decision by Ramos to do so that early.
    • 60' Marcelo cuts in from the left and shoots from the edge of the box but it bounces well wide.
    • 59' Santana on halfway, he runs at Real's midfield, a brilliant piece of skill to leave two more for dead, he zooms towards the box AND SANTANA ON WITH A WONDERFUL FINISH FROM THE RIGHT INTO THE TOP LEFT! Mallorca ahead with one of the goals of the season. What a superb solo run and finish. Breathtaking.
    • 59' Ramos is booked for a late sliding tackle on Arango.
    • 58' Robben gets forward on the right and drills low but gathered by Moya at his near post.
    • 56' MADRID: Cannavaro comes off in his last appearance for the club, he gets a standings ovation as he prepares to return to Juventus. Javi Garcia on in his place.
    • 54' Now Robben comes forward down the right and falls over but no foul.
    • 53' Mallorca come forward again with Arango in but side netting with the cross.
    • 51' Aduritz tries a really ambitious, and not very good, lob from distance that lands on the penalty spot.
    • 50' Arango cuts inside and has a pop but wide with Casillas scrambling across.
    • 48' Long-range effort from Aduritz but easy for Casillas.
    • 46' Second half underway!!
    • - Higuain has been the stand out player for Madrid, scoring one from three shots and causing all kinds of problems on the flanks and through the middle. Juan Arango has done exactly the same for Mallorca, and he has made 25 completed passes too, to Higuain's 10. Player profile: Gonzalo Higuain
    • - Madrid have had 55 per cent of possession and eight shots to Mallorca's five. While they have made more accurate passes, tellingly, they have made more inaccurate ones - giving the ball away to sides sitting deep on the counter is asking for trouble.
    • 45+1 The second effort is deflected wide for a corner, which comes to nothing and the ref blows for half-time. 1-1.
    • 45' And Van der Vaart takes it quickly but a great save by Moya! The ref books Van der Vaart for taking it without his permission, and to be fair he warned the players that he was marking the 10 yards out.
    • 44' Foul on Raul 25 yards out, free-kick in a central position for Real... Marcelo, Huntelaar and Van der Vaart over it...
    • 43' After a pretty intense start this game has tailed off somewhat. Unsurprisingly given neither side has anything to play for other than entertaining their fans.
    • 41' A succession of corners after that incident but eventually it's out for a goal-kick.
    • 39' Higuain is in AGAIN and he drills it low for Raul sliding in but Moya blocks.
    • 36' Varela is down in some pain after tangling with Higuain.
    • 34' Long-range effort from Higuain goes well over.
    • 32' Madrid clear the corner and they launch a quick counter attack, Raul threads it through to Higuain who is in and can make it 2-1 but Moya rushes out to block his finish! Good keeping but all Higuain needed to do was loft it over or either side of the keeper.
    • 31' Arango comes forwarod again after a one-two with Aduritz but Cannavaro blocks for a corner.
    • 30' Casillas is tested at his near post but holds on to the Arango shot.
    • 28' Corner to Mallorca but too long and wide for a goal kick to Madrid.
    • 25' Mallorca on the counter, Madrid have no pace at centre half and they're nowhere as Aduritz is in, he slips it to Arango who plays it under Casillas for 1-1! Shocking defending from Real.
    • 22' Diarra tries to clear the ball and Jurado comes in through him, meaning the momentum of Diarra's attempted clearance takes his foot through Jurado's ankle. Not sure who fouled who there!
    • 21' Higuain gets it about 30 yards out, he cuts inside past one challenge and spots Mota off his line so lobs him and inches over!
    • 20' Free-kick to Madrid on the left, which Van der Vaart will take... brilliant delivery whipped into the near post and HIGUAIN FLIES IN WITH A SUPERB FLICKED HEADER THAT WHISTLES PAST MOYA FOR 1-0!
    • 16' Huntelaar is marginally offside after Raul's through-ball sends him clear.
    • 13' Raul combines with Higuain but put out for a throw on the right wing.
    • 12' Higuain gets it on the right, he sears forward leaving Mallorca in his wake and drills a low shot on goal that hits Moya's legs and could spin anywhere but luckily for Mallorca not into Huntelaar's path!
    • 10' Madrid with some pressure now, keeping the ball quite well and patiently looking for an opening.
    • 9' Free-kick to Mallorca which Jurado will take from the edge of the D... he sends it pretty straight and at a decent height for Casillas who makes a hash of it by punching one-handed but he gets away with the error and Madrid clear.
    • 7' Superb run through the middle by Higuain, who plays it wide right to Robben, he pings in a low cross-shot that Moya can only parry with Huntelaar sliding in but he was offside when the shot was played.
    • 5' Robben thinks he should have a free kick on the right but nothing given.
    • 4' Jurado swings it in but too deep and wide for a goal kick.
    • 3' The second corner is headed clear though, the second ball is played towards the left and Ramos commits a foul, free-kick to Mallorca.
    • 2' Corner for Mallorca, which Van der Vaart puts behind for another corner.
    • 1' Match underway!
    • - Free-scoring striker Gonzalo Higuain must be wondering what he has to do to earn an Argentina call-up. Twenty goals this season clearly is not enough: Argentina overlook Higuain
    • - MALLORCA TEAM NEWS: Scaloni, Marti, Nunes and keeper Aouate are all out for Gregorio Manzano's men, no suspensions though.
    • - MADRID TEAM NEWS: Pepe is suspended for his assault a couple of weeks back, while Real have a lengthy injury list that includes Metzelder, Diarra, Van Nistelrooy, Sneijder, De la Red and Gago.
    • - Real Madrid host Mallorca in what is effectively a leisurely stroll in the park as Madrid are guaranteed second behind Champions Barcelona and Mallorca safe in ninth but unable to challenge for a Europa League spot, LIVE from 20:00 UK time!

  16. Jerzy Dudek should have played today...Casillas may be­ a Euro winner with Spain has been shaky as hell­ throughout the past few games with his club and in his­ own way has cost Madrid the title. Once again because­ of partiality good players miss out and mediocrity is­ rewarded.
