RCD Mallorca 3–0 Al Fateh SC
International Club Friendly | 26 July 2026

RCD Mallorca kicked off their pre-season campaign with a commanding 3–0 victory over Saudi Arabian side Al Fateh SC at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix. The friendly, held under the summer night sky, gave manager Jagoba Arrasate a chance to evaluate his squad ahead of the upcoming La Liga season.

Match Overview

Mallorca dominated possession from the first whistle, pressing high and forcing early errors from the Al Fateh defence. The breakthrough came in the 23rd minute when Vedat Muriqi capitalised on a cross from the right flank, heading home from close range. The Kosovan striker’s powerful finish set the tone for a comfortable evening for the home side.

Al Fateh struggled to create clear chances, with Mallorca’s compact backline, marshalled by Antonio Raíllo, limiting the visitors to speculative shots from distance. The second goal arrived just before half-time: a well‑worked corner routine saw Dani Rodríguez float a ball to the far post, where a defensive header fell kindly to Pablo Maffeo, who volleyed into the net.

Second‑Half Control

The second half followed a similar pattern. Mallorca rotated heavily, giving minutes to fringe players and youngsters. Al Fateh’s best moment came on the hour mark when midfielder Sofiane Bendebka forced a low save from Dominik Greif. But the Spanish side extended their lead in the 78th minute when substitute Ángel Rico slotted home after a neat through ball from Sergi Darder.

Key Takeaways

• Mallorca’s set‑piece threat: Both of the first‑half goals came from dead‑ball situations, a clear area of focus in pre‑season.
• Defensive solidity: The clean sheet will please Arrasate, especially with key centre‑back options showing strong form.
• Al Fateh’s adaptation: The Saudi Pro League side will benefit from such a high‑tempo test as they prepare for their own season.

The result gives Mallorca a positive start to their friendly schedule, with further matches against Levante and Bologna planned before the La Liga opener.
