Mallorca and Celta shared
the points in a 2-2 draw, the visitors coming from two down to equalise with a
penalty near the end. Jonás Gutiérrez gave the Balearic islanders
the lead early on, turning the ball past Pinto after Jankovic passed in from
the left. And the Argentinian winger came close to scoring a second before
Baiano and Jorge tested Prats for the first time shortly before half time.
Jankovic made it two for the
locals though when he fired home a long shot after the restart, and the crowd,
who had only seen their side win once at home this season, began the Mexican
wave. But Celta had one of the best away records in the league, and Baiano got
one back five minutes later, catching out Prats with a snap shot from outside
of the area which squeezed through the hands of the keeper.
Fernando Vázquez
threw everything forward after that, bringing on Jesús Perera for
Iriney, and Oubiña went close a couple of times, including once when he
felt he should have had a penalty. And with five minutes to go Clos
Gómez did point at the spot after Baiano fell under a challenge from
Ballesteros, and Perera converted the kick at the second attempt after the
referee ordered a retake for encroachment of the visiting players.
Baiano and Jonás
Gutiérrez both had chances in the final minutes, and the locals ended
with ten men after Gutiérrez was sent off, presumably for insulting an
official. A point apiece, which left both sides safely in mid-table.
