Alavés turned it around against Mallorca and moved out of the danger zone

Mallorca was very effective in the first half and struck with a brilliant goal from Jan Virgili. Alavés created danger in the opening period but always looked shaky, and Leo Román was alert to deny the clearest chance, an overhead kick from Nahuel Tenaglia. The Babazorro side deserved a bit more but lacked precision in the final third.

In the second half, Toni Martínez showed his goalscoring side and Alavés turned the match around. Martínez leveled the game with a header and then finished inside the box after a pass from Ángel Pérez to beat Leo Román and make it 2-1.

The Vermilions pushed for an equalizer until the end with chances for Virgili, but they failed in the attempt and Alavés held on and picked up three crucial points: it climbed out of the relegation zone, pushed Sevilla into it for the time being, and further complicated Mallorca, which could end this matchday in the danger zone depending on other results.
