Mallorca were very effective in the first half and struck with a superb goal from Jan Virgili. Alavés created danger in the opening period, but always looked shaky, while an alert Leo Román denied their best chance with a save from an overhead kick by Nahuel Tenaglia. The Babazorro side deserved a bit more but lacked precision in front of goal.

In the second half, Toni Martínez showed his goalscoring touch 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.

Los bermellones pushed for an equalizer until the end through chances for Virgili, but failed in their attempts, and Alavés held on to claim three crucial points: they moved out of the relegation zone, pushed Sevilla into it for the time being, and worsened the situation for Mallorca, who could end the matchday in the bottom three depending on other results.
