RCD Mallorca snatched a late equaliser to deny Celta Vigo all three points in their LaLiga clash at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, as Mateu Morey’s 87th-minute strike ensured the spoils were shared in a tense 1–1 draw.

First Half – Celta Strike First

The visitors began brightly and looked the sharper of the two sides in the opening half. Their persistence paid off in the 38th minute, when Javi Rueda broke the deadlock, finishing confidently after being set up by Hugo Sotelo. The goal gave Celta a deserved lead going into the break, while Mallorca struggled to carve out any clear chances despite periods of possession.

Second Half – Mallorca Push Back

After halftime, Mallorca showed greater urgency, pushing higher up the pitch in search of a leveller. Celta, however, remained dangerous on the counter and forced the home defence into several key interventions. Both sides exchanged spells of pressure, but it was Mallorca who refused to give in.

Late Drama – Morey Saves Mallorca

With just minutes left on the clock, Mallorca found their breakthrough. Mateu Morey pounced in the 87th minute, firing home to send the Son Moix crowd into celebration. The late goal was a reward for the hosts’ persistence and denied Celta a first league win of the season.

What It Means

The result leaves both clubs still searching for their first victory of the 2025/26 LaLiga campaign. Celta will feel frustrated after letting their lead slip late on, while Mallorca will take encouragement from their fighting spirit and ability to respond under pressure.

Both teams sit on one point from two matches, with improvements needed if they are to climb up the table in the coming weeks.
