There are few team sports, like soccer, in which mastery of the game, creating scoring chances, possession of the ball and superiority over the rival have less reward than what is later reflected on the scoreboard. The match against Rayo was one of those matches in which this act of sporting injustice occurred. And what we saw in Son Moix was a waste of football from the Arrasate team, which barely had the reflection of a 1-0 on the scoreboard, a prize achieved with fifteen minutes remaining. Barely a minute had passed and Robert Navarro could have already put his team ahead with that ball that crashed against the post. Muriqi had the second clear chance before the first quarter.
A waste of football that became more evident after the break, with Mallorca insistently searching for the goal and that made the stands salivate, excited, rubbing their eyes, for this ambitious game that they had not remembered for a couple of years. seasons. A choral symphony with many soloists because, although Muriqi was the one who signed such a magnificent work, there was no one who was out of tune. Not the full-backs, Mojica and Maffeo, turned into spears by the wingers, the central defenders Raillo and Valjent, powerful as always in the aerial game; that midfield with Darder, Morlanes, Robert Navarro and Samu creating and cutting; Larin and Muriqi, turned into a nightmare for Rayo’s center backs. And what can we say about Dani, who rewarded himself in his 251st game with the red shirt by giving his third goal assist in just 10 games.
Seventeen points already, in less than a quarter of the League, only 23 of the 40 that guarantee permanence in the First Division in recent years. And then, whatever this template wants.
