VIDEO: Julián Álvarez misses penalty in Atlético v Mallorca, LaLiga | OneFootball

In the context of the fifth matchday of LaLiga, Atlético Madrid visited Mallorca at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix in search of a victory that would allow them to start closing in on the top positions of the tournament after a poor start.

Before the quarter-hour mark, the team led by Diego Simeone had an unbeatable opportunity to open the scoring, as after a handball in the box, the match referee, Francisco José Hernández Maeso, blew the whistle for a penalty.

The one in charge of the shot was Julián Alvarez, the Argentine striker who already has a goal in the tournament. The 'Spider' decided to open his foot with a strong shot to the left post of goalkeeper Leo Román, who went there and with a good reaction denied him the goal.
