    It must have been frustrating for Mallorca as they were better throughout the second half and deserved a win, but that's the beauty of football. They were careless to unlucky to concede late and then they fell apart. Ebert puts his mark to it, he stroke the first and the last of the match!
     
    And that's it! It looked like a draw, but two late strikes give Valladolid three valuable points.
     
    Game over.
     
    90+3
