Real Mallorca remain undefeated this pre-season after beating CD Lugo 0-1 in their visit to Anxo Carro Stadium. The second division team has been the toughest opponent ever faced by Vicente Moreno's squad and has been reflected on the field.
Although the match has been fairly evenly matched, visitors, who celebrated the 2017-2018 season's showdown game, dominated the first half-hour of the game and easily managed to control the ball. In minute 10, Pol Roigé has had in his boots the first arrival of the Majorcan to Roberto's area. The Catalan has met twice with the goalkeeper and has not been able to finish.
Joan Sastre and José Ángel have been amonested with yellow card in different actions during the first half, but Lugo has not been able to take advantage of the plays to stop. Joan Sastre had a fantastic opportunity after 42 minutes, but the shot went just wide.
In the second half, have begun the changes that have allowed all the players called by Vicente Moreno had minutes in the Anxo Carro Stadium. On the grass, the group has continued to fight for victory. It was a serious game, of patience and rigor. Of which even the smallest detail counts. With that precision, in the 60th minute Pol Roigé goal has gone up the scoreboard. Pierre focused to the area from the left wing. Álex López has left the ball for Rufo who has combined back to Pol who has hit hard with his right leg.
To keep the result, the team has had to become strong in defense and not make any mistakes. After the 90 minutes and suffered the last arrivals of Lugo, Mallorca has been able to add a new victory, the sixth of this preseason. The team does not know defeat and wants to extend the streak this Saturday in Ciutat de Palma Trophy: team's debut at Son Moix and the last test before the start of the championship.
