In the second half, Villarreal eased their offensive pressure, showing mercy to their opponents. Mallorca had opportunities to score a consolation goal, but Vedat Muriqi missed a promising header, and Luis Junior made a fine save to deny a dangerous free-kick effort from Johan Mojica late in the game.
With this victory, Marcelino García Toral’s Villarreal climbed to fifth place in the standings with 33 points. Mallorca, now on a three-game losing streak across all competitions, sits sixth with 30 points.
