Palma, Aug 18 (EFE). –

Real Madrid started the season with high expectations for French star Kylian Mbappé’s debut in Spanish football, but after a tight match that ended in a 1-1 draw, it was Colombian defender Johan Mojica who stood out for his contribution in the defensive and offensive zones.

During the first half, Mallorca had a good presence in the attacking area. It was very alert to possible Real Madrid counterattacks in the final stretch of the first 45 minutes.

However, after 13 minutes, Real Madrid players managed a good combination with the participation of Mbappé and Vinicius Junior scored the first goal.

In the second half, it looked as if Real Madrid would take control of the game, but the tables turned when Vedat Muriqi scored the equalizer in the 53rd minute with a shot from a corner that left Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois with no option.

From then on, the Merengue team did not find much control in the game and scoring chances were few and far between,¿.

Mbappé had one in the 70th minute, but the shot was no problem for goalkeeper Dominik Greif.

Midway through the second half, Mojica came to his team’s rescue, clearing the rebound from a Kylian Mbappé shot that Rodrygo had almost finished.

Despite the short training session, Mojica played the full 90 minutes and continued to play in the opposing half, showing flashes of quality and bringing his veteran skills to bear in the final moments to seal the draw.
