Mallorca, seventeenth in LaLiga Santander, at home to Athletic Club (Athletic Bilbao) in eighth. Mallorca got a welcome win against relegation contenders Cadiz last time out, while Athletic's record going into the match was a draw and three wins in the last four games. Two of these wins were away - against Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano.
A 13th-minute error by keeper Sergio Rico might have let Athletic in, but an early shakiness - including a booking for Brian Oliván - was followed by two goals in seven minutes for Mallorca. Salva Sevilla scored from the penalty spot on 22 minutes after a foul on Pablo Maffeo and then Ángel Rodríguez's great shot put Mallorca two-up.
Sevilla almost added a third following a 53rd minute corner, and then Athletic struck back with two goals in three minutes - Raúl García on 59 minutes from Yuri's centre followed by Alejandro Berenguer from a corner.
Oliván failed to take advantage of Lee Kang-in's 78th-minute, but Take Kubo made no mistake ten minutes later
