WAYWARD PASS
A wayward pass from David Albelda into his own area allowed Nano to sneak in
and fire an unlikely equaliser for Getafe two minutes from time.
The draw allowed Valencia to stretch their unbeaten league run to 14 games.
Celta Vigo climbed to fifth on 42 points after beating Cadiz 2-0 at home
while Sevilla dropped to sixth following their 5-0 defeat at Espanyol.
Real Betis climbed out of the relegation zone with a 2-0 win at home against
Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao drew 1-1 with Villarreal.
Madrid always struggled in a rain-lashed encounter against a highly combative
Mallorca who had not won at home since Oct. 26.
The visitors took the lead when David Beckham's free kick was headed firmly
into the corner by Ramos.
Mallorca never let Real settle and three minutes before the break Arango
rounded Iker Casillas and fired into the side-netting from a tight angle.
Early in the second-half Ramos gave striker Tuni the slightest of tugs in the
area for a penalty to be awarded which Pisculichi fired straight down the centre
of the goal.
Ten minutes from time Angelos Basinas made a strong run through midfield
before releasing Arango into space.
This time when he rounded Casillas, Arango made no mistake, stroking the ball
into the empty net.
