La Liga strugglers Mallorca and Valencia share points in draw
VALENCIA, Spain (AP) --- La Liga strugglers Valencia and Mallorca shared the
points in a 1-1 draw at the Mestalla on Friday.
Sam Costa put Mallorca ahead midway through the first half and looked to be
heading to what would have been only its second away win.
However, the home side was more lively after the break and got a deserved
equalizer seven minutes into the second half. Hugo Duro scored his sixth goal
of the season and delighted the crowd of 41,000 when he connected with a cross
from Thierry Correia.
Valencia remained fifth from bottom in the table with just one win in its last
12 La Liga games. It was one point above the relegation zone.
Coming just three days after it was knocked out the Copa del Rey by second-tier
Deportivo La Coruna, Mallorca welcomed the point. It extended its league run to
four games unbeaten and lifted it into 14th spot.
