Real are seeing more of the ball now as we'd expect. ... from Madrid as they probe. Valverde tries a pot-shot as he falls, but it's well-blocked. It's a compliment to Mallorca's defensive solidity, but it's wasteful from the hosts. Madrid are really trying their luck from range here. Madrid benefit from some leniency from the referee as Rodrygo's strong challenge goes unpunished, and they break forwards through the Brazilian, but he's selfish as he goes for goal, and skies the effort.

2 hours from kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News' live coverage of Real Madrid vs. Aguirre's men will lurk in that defensive shell but with a willingness to try and hit Madrid on the counter. They will, of course, have to do so without the injured Karim Benzema and lack a specialist striker in his absence. 39th min: The referee has to intervene as Raillo takes down Vinicius in the penalty area, and the Mallorca defender is shown a yellow card. It's a below standard showing from the Madrid full-back on the play, and Los Blancos are punished. Off a throw-in, Mallorca completely unlocks the Madrid defense and should have gone in front! in the penalty area who provides the finishing touch, and Madrid are finally able to go in front. There's a bit of extra-curricular activity between the Real Madrid man and Maffeo. Vinicius and Rodrygo carved the Mallorca defense to shreds in the second half, seeing Real Madrid come away with all three points. Antonio Rudiger has the ball in the back of the net for his debut Real Madrid goal, rifling in at the far post off a free-kick. Throughout the first half and early second half, Ceballos did his best to pull the strings for the Real Madrid attack, hurling himself at the Mallorca low block, hoping to provide a way through. Modric's introduction on the hour for Ceballos changed the game, as the 37-year-old Croatian calmed Madrid and spurred them to victory.
After a slow start Real Madrid break the Mallorca dam and earn another 3 points in their defense of the title.
Had 2-3 shots in the first half, but failed to convert the shots into goals.His end production came in the second half with a beautiful assist for Vinicius on the go-ahead goal and then his own goal (the team’s third) after some lovely skill to beat 2 or 3 players. Fede Valverde—8: Scored the goal of the season. Did play one of the most dangerous passes in the first half, a clipped ball on to Rodrygo’s chest inside the box. David Alaba—7: Nearly re-created the Betis goal by lofting another inch-perfect pass to Vinicius early in the game. In the first half, Mallorca managed to do just that but eventually Madrid, and in particular Vinicius and Rodrygo, broke the dam and their quality shone. Real Mallorca came to the Bernabeu looking to defend deep and find a goal on the counter or off a set-piece.
Federico Valverde has stolen the spotlight this afternoon by scoring a stunning goal in the added time of the first half against RCD Mallorca.
With Rodrygo moving into a central role, Ancelotti plans to deploy Valverde out on the right flank against the Bundesliga giants. 9 ahead of Eden Hazard when Real Madrid face RB Leipzig in the Champions League next week. However, the Belgian did not have the most effective outing on Sunday afternoon. Without Benzema on board, Los Blancos thrashed their visitors 4-1, riding on the brilliance of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes and Federico Valverde. Eden Hazard had started as the No. With 15 attempts on goal, there has been no shortage of effort from the home team, but they need that final end product in front of the goal.
Fede Valverde and Rodrygo were the standout players as Real Madrid made it five wins from five, beating Mallorca 4-1 after conceding first.
[Eden Hazard](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/101390/Eden-Hazard).

"The goals, they were great quality, all three goals (Valverde, Vinicius, Rodrygo).
