Mallorca 1-0 Real Madrid: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Los Blancos Slump to First League Defeat

A woeful Real Madrid fell to their first league defeat of the season on Saturday evening, losing 1-0 to Mallorca at Son Moix thanks to a first-half strike from Lago Junior.

Los Blancos made a sluggish start to the game and fell behind after only seven minutes, as Lago cut inside and fired past Thibaut Courtois. Things almost got worse for Zinedine Zidane's men when Ante Budimir put the ball in the net moments later, but it was ruled out for offside.

Madrid almost drew level midway through the first half as James Rodriguez played a delightful lofted pass into the path of Karim Benzema, but the Frenchman's shot came back off the bar.
