Pablo Galvez’s wonder strike and an own goal ensured RCD Mallorca started the new year with a 2-1 victory over CD Binissalem at Son Bibiloni.
Manager Julián Robles rotated his starting XI having lost a number of key players to the senior side’s Copa del Rey clash, although the introduction of young forward Pablo Gálvez was rewarded when the teenager opened the scoring with a delightful lob over the backpedalling Boison on the half-hour mark.
Gálvez proved a handful for the visitors’ defence with runs in behind throughout the remainder of the first half as we headed into the break with a slender advantage.
Despite maintaining a monopoly on possession upon the restart, CD Binissalem levelled matters against the run of play on the 75th minute when Francesc headed home Forteza’s corner
The equaliser only served as a catalyst for an all-out offensive approach as we looked for an instant response. Our efforts were rewarded with seven minutes left on the clock when a worked corner resulted in Samuel flicking the ball past Boison and handing us a winning start to 2021.
