In today’s La Liga opener between Mallorca and Barcelona, the match was marred by two red cards for the hosts, leading to a chaotic first half.
Barcelona took an early lead with Raphinha scoring a header from Lamine Yamal’s assist just seven minutes into the game. Ferran Torres doubled the advantage in the 23rd minute. However, the match’s turning point came shortly after, when Mallorca’s Manu Morlanes received a second yellow card for a foul on Yamal. Just six minutes later, Vedat Muriqi was shown a straight red card after a VAR review confirmed he had struck Barcelona’s goalkeeper Joan García in the face with his boot .
These disciplinary issues left Mallorca with only nine men on the field before halftime, severely hindering their ability to compete against a dominant Barcelona side.
