Mallorca’s Larin comes back to haunt his former club

September 27

Canadian striker Cyle Larin scored against his old club as Mallorca kept up their promising start to the Spanish league season with a 2-1 win away at Real Valladolid.

It was the third win in a row for Mallorca, who moved into fourth place with 14 points from eight games.

Valladolid, meanwhile, are winless in the league since the opening day of the season and have now taken only two points from their last seven games.

Although all five of their points this season have come at home, the newly promoted side was unable to make much of an impact in front of 20,000 fans.

Yet it took almost an hour for Mallorca to make their dominance count when Larin, who signed from Valladolid last month, controlled a good ball from Dani Rodríguez and then converted with poise from close range.

Substitute Valery Fernández made it 2-0 with seven minutes remaining, before Iván Sánchez got one back in stoppage time for Valladolid.

“We’re very disappointed because we we’ve been strong at home,” Sánchez said. “Games are getting away from us, any mistake gets penalised.”
