Atlético Madrid were beaten 1-0 by Mallorca on Sunday evening, although results elsewhere means they hang on to fourth spot. With an intensive program of games, Javier Aguirre rested Agüero and gave a rare start to Mista. But although they dominated the early minutes they were unable to create many chances, the best a shot from Forlán which Moyà saved without too many problems, and another effort from Reyes over the top.

The locals went ahead though midway through the first half when Arango beat Abbiati after the keeper could only parry a shot from Fernando Navarro. Jonás and Arango could have increased the lead before the break, and Güiza brought a good save out of Abbiati soon after the restart. Atlético did carve out a couple more chances, Forlán in particular shooting over the bar, but their challenge ended when Reyes got himself sent off for a second bookable offence later on.
