Ghana trio suffer LaLiga relegation with Mallorca

Real Mallorca fell to a 2-1 loss at home to Granada Thursday night, marking an end to LaLiga football action for Ghana trio Baba Iddrisu, Lumor Agbenyenu and Abdul Rahman Baba.

Of the trio, only Iddrsiu has a permanent contract with Mallorca while the other duo played on a season-long loan.

Just two wins since the restart left Mallorca – who came up via the Segunda play-offs last season – looking doomed, and the defeat to Europa League-chasing Granada consigned them to relegation.

Cucho Hernandez had given them a 20th-minute lead with a brilliant solo effort after a counter, but Granada – also promoted last term – levelled on the stroke of half-time through Victor Diaz.

Carlos Fernandez then made it 2-1 with a flicked header past the hour mark, and Mallorca’s hopes effectively vanished 10 minutes from time when Aleksandar Sedlar received a straight red card for a poor tackle. Hernandez was also shown a red card late on, but by that point he had already been substituted.

The final relegation spot will be decided on the last day of the season after Leganes claimed a potentially decisive 2-0 win at Athletic Bilbao, which leaves them just a point behind Celta Vigo.

Defender Joseph Aidoo’s Celta go to relegated Espanyol on Sunday, while Leganes host champions Real Madrid.
