Lago Junior got an undesirable LaLiga record as Real Mallorca’s struggles continued following their 2-0 defeat to Deportivo Alaves.
With the game heading for a stalemate at Mendizorrotza, Junior tripped Tomas Pina in his goal area, and VAR replays confirmed that it was a penalty.

In the process, the Ivorian equalled Oscar Plano’s feat of being the second forward to concede two penalties in a single season.
Lucas Perez converted the ensuing kick after sending goalkeeper Manolo Reina the wrong way in the 76th minute.
A disorganised Mallorca backline ensured that Joselu sealed victory four minutes to fulltime after getting a pass from Oliver Burke.
