Alaves vs Mallorca Live Stream & Tips: Points Shared in La Liga

Malaga and Mallorca draw 0-0

A penalty save from Manolo Reina ensured that Mallorca left Mendizorroza with a point after a goalless draw with Alaves on Saturday. The visitors had the better chances in the first half, with Salva Sevilla hitting the post and Amath Ndiaye forcing a fine save from Fernando Pacheco. Alaves improved after the break, but they could not find a way past Reina, who also denied substitute Joselu late on.

Missed Opportunities

Both teams had good chances to win the game, but neither could find the back of the net. Alaves had more possession and chances in the second half, and they should have taken the lead when Joselu was clean through on goal late on. However, Reina made a brilliant save to deny the striker and preserve the point for Mallorca.

Defensive Display

Mallorca's defense was excellent throughout the game. They limited Alaves to very few chances, and they were always comfortable dealing with the home side's crosses and set-pieces. Reina was also in fine form, making several important saves to keep Mallorca in the game. Alaves' defense also deserves credit for keeping Mallorca at bay, especially in the second half when the visitors were pushing for a winner.

Next Up

Alaves will travel to face Athletic Bilbao next Saturday, while Mallorca will host Real Betis. Both teams will be looking to build on their positive results this weekend.
