Real Mallorca faced Athletic Bilbao and celebrated the La Liga victory 3-2 while they overcame a late two-goal rally against Athletic. The teams were tied at 2-2 in the second half but Bilbao conceded late in the 88th minute when the Japanese international Takefusa Kubo played an important role in the winning goal when his close-range shot hit the post and Simon, unfortunately, pushed the ball into Bilbao’s own net.
With the loss, Athletic's five-match unbeaten run across competition ended quickly. The Basque Country club had a chance to close in on European qualification places in the Spanish top-flight competition as they remain eighth on the table two points away from Villarreal and five points adrift of Barcelona who has the final Champions League place.
