Cadiz, doing well after their promotion, posed a strong challenge for Mallorca, who came into the match after two away draws. Cadiz, though, caused an early scare, Álvaro García hitting the woodwork after thirteen minutes.
Moutinho was the greatest threat for Mallorca, the home side dominating possession and making the greater chances. Both keepers were being kept busy, though. Lago's effort with thirteen minutes left could have broken the deadlock, but was deflected away and soon after Garrido hit a post for Cadiz for a second time. Mallorca kept trying to break their duck, James and Zdjelar ratcheting up the number of goal attempts.
In the end, a nil-nil scoreline didn't reflect the match.
Mallorca
Cabrero; Juanjo, Raíllo, Rodríguez (Pleguezuelo 28), Campabadal; Domínguez, Vallejo (Zdjelar 45): Moutinho, Lago Junior, Brandon; Lekic (James 76)

It was an entertaining match but not a great one. If Mallorca knew how to score, they would have won about 10-0. They had loads of scoring opportunities but just can´t get the ball in the net. The waterlogged pitch didn´t help - not a result of the rain though - the groundsmen insist on watering the pitch at every opportunity. The players would perhaps fare better wearing wellies than football boots !
