Real Mallorca kick off the second half of their season with a difficult challenge away in Madrid.
A recent survey showed that Espanyol and Real Mallorca will be promoted in May.
Despite this defeat, Mallorca reach the halfway point in the season with an impressive 42 points.
Saturday's match felt like a defeat when RCD Mallorca lost two points and the only ones to blame for the outcome of the game were the team itself.
The Palma side have made one of the best ever starts to a season and lie one point behind league leaders Espanyol.
Mallorca now have a 13-day break until La Liga SmartBank resumes.
As the team reach the 14-day Christmas break, we sit proudly on top of La Segunda SmartBank.
Monro Bryce talks about the victory for RCD Mallorca in a difficult place as Leganes had only lost once at home this season.
They face fourth-placed Leganes in their Butarque stadium, in a game described as being a real litmus test for the Palma side.
On Saturday at 4pm we have a huge away game in Madrid against Leganes who lie six points behind us in fourth.
The unity in the Real Mallorca squad under Luis Garcia Plaza is something we haven’t seen for a long, long time.
Real Mallorca are on the crest of a wave at the moment, 14 games unbeaten and only three goals conceded in 15 games
The game had an unbelievable start and there was more happening in the first 10 minutes than a lot of the 90 minute stuff seen this season.
It’s the first time we’ve led the Spanish second division since season 96/97.
Mallorca play again on Sunday at 18:15 in Palma against Logroñes.
Mallorca gave the ball away far too often and I don’t recall Sporting doing that once.
A win come 6pm would put us in a commanding position as we enter another crazy period in this pandemic league
Kick off at 18.30 on Saturday.
