With 4,086 supporters allowed back into the Son Moix, Real Mallorca could have anticipated three points against seventeenth-placed Alcorcón in pretty much sealing automatic promotion from LaLiga SmartBank. A win and Mallorca would be eight points ahead of Almeria in third with three games to go.
A blocked 39th minute shot by Amath Ndiaye was all Mallorca had to show for an underwhelming first half until three minutes later, a penalty was awarded for handball by Alcorcón midfielder Juan Aguilera. Abdón Prats stepped up and it was one-nil.
On 54 minutes, a combination with Lago Junior and Brian Oliván led to a chip by Salva Sevilla, a goal that was initially ruled out for offside. VAR was consulted and the goal stood.
Mallorca might have had a third with six minutes to go when Amath found himself one-on-one with Alcorcón keeper Dani Jiménez, but a third didn't matter as Mallorca took another step towards almost certain promotion.
