Mallorca stumbles against Alavés, who end their five-game losing streak.

Alavés secures a surprising victory over Mallorca, snapping their losing streak.

Mallorca's hopes for a victory at home were dashed as Alavés secured a stunning 1-0 triumph, bringing an end to their dismal run of five consecutive defeats. The match kicked off with both teams battling for control, but it was Alavés who struck first in the 25th minute. Luis Rioja's perfectly placed cross found Miguel De la Fuente unmarked at the far post, who headed the ball past Mallorca goalkeeper Predrag Rajković. Despite Mallorca's efforts to equalize, Alavés held firm at the back, frustrating their opponents' attacking advances. The home side's best chance fell to Vedat Muriqi in the second half, but his header sailed just wide of the post. The win marked Alavés' first victory since their 2-1 triumph over Cádiz on October 16, and lifted them out of the relegation zone. Mallorca, on the other hand, remained in 10th place with 25 points from 19 matches. Alavés manager Luis García Plaza praised his team's performance, saying: "This was a very important victory for us. The players showed great determination and character, and we deserved the three points." Mallorca manager Javier Aguirre acknowledged his team's shortcomings, stating: "We lacked intensity and precision in our play. We need to improve our performance in the next match."
