Mallorca II Solidifies Title Aspirations with Late Drama Against Son Cladera
In a thrilling clash at Campo de futbol Son Cladera, Mallorca II edged out Son Cladera with a 2-1 victory on October 25, 2025, a result that reinforces Mallorca II's position in the Tercera División RFEF - Group 11 while deepening Son Cladera's struggles at the lower end of the table. Despite a late surge from the home side, Mallorca II secured the points in dramatic fashion, turning this match into a testament of their ambition to rise to the next level.
As I previewed this match, the expectations for Son Cladera were low, and they did not disappoint-at least in the wrong way. Yet, they produced a spirited effort, fighting back as they have throughout the season, albeit too late to change the game's outcome. With only one win to their name before this match and languishing in 14th place, Son Cladera's woes continued. Their defensive fragility was apparent, which has been a recurring theme in their otherwise tumultuous season.
The action began in earnest when Mallorca II struck first in the 38th minute, with an unnamed player finding the back of the net. This goal came after a dominant spell of possession, showcasing the visitors' clinical attacking style. As the second half unfolded, Son Cladera's need for points became increasingly urgent, and their late equalizer in the 90th minute injected hope into the home crowd. Fans erupted as the home side managed to pull level, igniting dreams of a dramatic turnaround.
However, the jubilations were short-lived. Just moments later, Mallorca II answered back with a crucial goal of their own, sealing the victory just as Son Cladera thought they might have carved out a lifeline. This twist not only highlighted the visitors' resilience but also underlined Son Cladera's defensive shortcomings, which have haunted them throughout the campaign.
With this result, Mallorca II climbs to 16 points, solidifying their position in second place. They remain firmly in contention for promotion, with their eye on overtaking leaders who are beginning to feel the pressure from below. Meanwhile, Son Cladera stays rooted to the bottom of the table with just four points, their quest for form becoming more desperate with each passing week.
As both teams look ahead, Son Cladera must regroup quickly ahead of their upcoming fixtures, where they must find a way to salvage their season. For Mallorca II, the confidence gained from this win could be pivotal as they continue to chase promotional aspirations and silence any doubters who may still linger despite their strong showing thus far.
