Mallorca are just two points
off the European spots after coming from behind to beat Racing Santander 1-2.
The Cantabrians were hoping to start to pick up points after facing the big
four in their opening four games. And they started well, Marcano heading them
in to the lead from Colsa's long free kick midway through the first half.
Serrano had brought a good save out Moyà minutes before the goal, and
Tchité hit the bar and fired another shot just wide of the post before
the break.
But Mallorca were looking
for revenge after missing out on a UEFA Cup spot to their opponents on the last
day of last season, and with the first half already in injury time Varela
picked up a pass from Corrales and fired an angled shot past Toño to
equalise. It was a killer blow, and the visitors took over from then on, with
Webó and Aduriz both testing Toño after the restart. Still the
game seemed to be heading for a draw, but with four minutes to go Webó
got on the end of Jurado's corner to head what was to prove the winner.
Both keepers had work to do
before the end however, Toño saving twice from Keita and Moyà
stopping a last gasp effort from Juanjo. The scoreline didn't change though,
and Racing ended the weekend down in next to bottom spot having only picked up
two points to date. It wasn't what they had planned, but they have to forget
about that for now and concentrate on Thursday night's UEFA Cup tie in Finland.
