Castro opened the scoring via the penalty spot in the seventh minute after Ricardo Costra caught Pierre Webo in the box. He then added his second when heading home on 29 minutes after Miguel Angel Moya could only parry Everson Ratinho's shot. Roberto Soldaro pulled one back for the hosts on 36 minutes after Vicente drew a foul from Ratinho. But Mallorca held on for the win to move to eighth in the table, with Castro almost securing his hat-trick in injury time but Moya saving.
