Midweek Javier Olaizola already warned about this, the game versus the bottom team would be a tricky one. The manager and his colleagues did prepare the psychological side of this game as the context seemed too favourable. The academy team has recently enjoyed two back-to-back victories and was portraying a nice team-play. However, on the contrary, the opponent Eldense arrived at the Iberostar Estadio without a single point to their name and with an alarming lack of goals.
But this is football, and it had to be at Son Bibiloni that Eldense got their first victory of the season after both teams putting fans through a rather tedious game. The visitors squandered a penalty that Parera stopped in a sublimen fashion. Parera showed great form again, taking advantage of the fact that Jaume Valens was called to feature in the first team squad that played against Alcorcon.
Without much offensive speech to make and with some defensive leakage back-door, Mallorca let three points slip at home, where it has yet to find a reliable form. Next week, the Olaizola group have three new engagement: Sunday at Badalona, pay hosts to Lleida on November 2nd at the Training Complex and on November 6th they travel to Hospitalet.
