PALMA, Mallorca (Reuters) - There were a few people pinching themselves after Real Mallorca's unlikely 1-0 victory over Real Madrid on Saturday, none more so than matchwinner Lago Junior and American co-owner Robert Sarver.

Ivory Coast forward Lago Junior was one of two Mallorca players in Saturday's line-up who experienced the crushing blow of relegation to the third tier of Spanish soccer in 2017.

Lago Junior's sensational seventh-minute solo goal proved enough to clinch victory and encapsulated the old adage that you must face the lows to appreciate the highs. Even in his wildest dreams Sarver could not have imagined when Mallorca slid into the Spanish football wilderness little two years ago that he would soon have a La Liga club on his hands, let alone a win over Real Madrid in front of a sell-out 20,000 crowd.

Maheta Molango, CEO since 2016 and the man who made the shrewd appointment of coach Moreno, said Saturday's result should dispel any doubts that Mallorca deserve to be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid.
