Sporting had a puncture in their most difficult pre-season match to date (1-0). Despite a very demanding week physically due to the extremely high temperatures that the red-and-white expedition had to endure in Algorfa, with a maximum of forty-five degrees and an average of about forty each day, Abelardo’s men were unable to cope with a Mallorca that has been imposed 13 minutes into the match.
The quick goal did not sink the rojiblancos, who had a decent first half trying to find the goal. Djuka was on the verge of achieving the equalizer in a shot that finally did not find the rival goal. Who was also very successful was Cuéllar, who prevented Mallorca from increasing the distance on the scoreboard after an impeccable shot by Kang In.
The next test for Abelardo’s men will take place on Saturday the 30th against Ponferradina (7:00 p.m.).
