  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Mallorca
    • Zaragoza
    • 90'+4 There it is! All over! Mallorca miss out on a UEFA Cup spot thanks to results elsewhere, but the big story is that Real Zaragoza are relegated!
    • 90'+3 GOAL! Oliveira slides in at the other end to register an almost identical goal to the Mallorca one! 3-2 now and perhaps it's not all over yet....
    • 90'+2 GOAL! It's all over! Zaragoza are relegated as Castro slides in injury time! It's a fast break from the hosts... Trejo crosses the ball into the middle and the man who's just come on can't miss! 3-1 and all over!
    • 89' Time running out for both sides... and neither seem resigned to their respective fates.
    • 88' Bad news for Mallorca... Racing have scored against Osasuna, meaning that sixth place is again out of their reach.
    • 80' Chance for Trejo! But the whistle's already gone and it wouldn't have counted, even if he had managed to poke it past Sanchez.
    • 77' Zaragoza on the attack as they throw everything forward... Sergio Garcia lets fly! Deflected behind for a corner!
    • 76' Aimar makes a late run into the box to meet Sergio Garcia's cross! Great save from Moya to keep Mallorca in the lead!
    • 71' Nunes body checks Sergio Garcia... that looks worse than it is, but the referee will have no option but to show him a yellow card.
    • 69' Change for Mallorca now... off goes Guiza - no more goals for him this season - and on comes Oscar Trejo.
    • 66' Zaragoza in real trouble again! And Mallorca are on their way into the UEFA Cup!
    • 65' GOAL! Webo nets Mallorca's second after an awful mix-up in the Zaragoza defence! Sanchez plays Fernandez into real trouble... the defender loses the ball and Arango clips in a cross for Webo to fire home a great header into the far corner!
    • 64' Arango is played in by Guiza! Great first touch to bring it down... but his stabbed effort brushes the outside of the far post!
    • 60' Zaragoza look like a different side now... they fancy their chances of getting a second.
    • 57' Zaragoza's top scorer comes up with the goods! And their fans celebrate with flares on the terraces! They'd better watch out... we all know how, er, hands on their approach to crowd control is...
    • 56' GOAL! Oliveira heads Zaragoza level! Gabi chips a great cross into the box where Oliveira has timed his run to perfection! All that is left to do is head past Moya... which he does with aplomb! 1-1 now and as things stand, they're staying up at the expense of Recreativo!
    • 54' Webo breaks down the right... he takes it round the keeper before sliding the ball across the face of goal! No one there!
    • 51' Ibagaza underhits a backpass... Moya has to be smart to clear before Militon gets there!
    • 48' Sergio Garcia goes into the book for continual tugging of Webo's shirt...
    • 46' We're back underway on Mallorca!
    • - So, as things stand, Zaragoza are going to be relegated. They need to get something from this game. Mallorca, on the other hand, are in sixth at the moment and on course for UEFA Cup qualification.
    • 45'+1 There goes the half-time whistle! And it's Mallorca who have a goal lead, but with results going Zaragoza's way elsewhere, it's not over yet!
    • 45' Milito throws himself at a cross! Brave effort but cleared by Nunes! It comes back to Juanfran who wins a corner!
    • 41' Valladolid have taken the lead against Recreativo! And that will give heart to Zaragoza, for whom a goal now could well bring safety!
    • 39' Milito's through again here! But again the Zaragoza striker is frustrated by the linesman's flag.
    • 35' Sergio Garcia is in the thick of things at the moment... he slips a pass through for Milito to run on to here... but the flag goes up! Inches offside!
    • 32' Sergio Garcia! Oooh! A first time snap shot from the Zaragoza man sails wide of the post!
    • 29' It now looks like the women with the megaphone has made it from the stands onto the pitch... no, wait, it's Sergio Garcia. He really does look like a girl with that ponytail.
    • 27' Webo is penalised for a foul on Fernandez down by the corner flag... he looks like he's about to cry at the decision... really.
    • 25' Varela and Zapater both go in for a loose ball... and it's the Mallorca man who comes out of the challenge worse off... that one looked painful.
    • 23' Off the post! Arango is forced wide as he takes it round the keeper... and his attempted cross/shot rattles the woodwork!
    • 17' Europe beckons for Mallorca, while life outside of La Liga awaits Zaragoza if things stay like this.
    • 16' Oliveira looks to hit back straight away for Zaragoza.... but his shot only finds the side netting!
    • 15' GOAL! Guiza puts Mallorca ahead! He takes a chipped ball forward down on his chest before turning and firing in off the prone Fernandez's leg! That's his 27th goal of the season!
    • 12' That's either a woman or a small boy directing chanting on the Mallorcan terraces... unusual to hear such a high pitched voice at a football match.
    • 10' It's been quite an open start to the game... chances at both ends so far.
    • 9' At the other end, Gabi slides a super pass through for Milito to run on to... he checks back before planting a shot just wide of the post!
    • 8' Great chance for Varela! Ibagaza does well to put in a cross from the Mallorca left... but Varela's volley is sliced wide of the target!
    • 6' But that's poor from the Brazilian... straight into the wall, and he won't be winning a move back to Milan in the summer with that kind of form.
    • 5' But here's a free kick to Zaragoza, 35 yards out... Oliveira over it...
    • 4' Webo's team-mates don't let that incident affect them too much though... they're on top in the opening minutes.
    • 1' Webo bursts through on goal... Sanchez races off his line and gets there before the Mallorca striker, who takes a silly dive, looking for a penalty. Not given, and the ref shows him yellow for his theatrics... not the best of starts for the hosts.
    • 1' No wait, we're not underway just yet... time for a protester to come onto the pitch and further delay the game... this is getting ridiculous.
    • 1' Finally! The rain has subsided in Mallorca and we're ready to get the final day of the season underway! Here we go!
    • - News is filtering through that rain is the reason for the delayed kick-offs in Spain. The pitch at Mallorca's Ono Estadi is waterlogged after a heavy downpour and the match has been put back an hour. And to ensure all three relegation matches start at the same time, the matches between Racing Santander and 17th-placed Osasuna, and 16th-placed Recreativo Huelva and Valladolid in 15th have also been put back.
    • - Victory for Mallorca will see them hold on to a chance of qualifying for the UEFA Cup, while Zaragoza know that the same scoreline will send them down.
    • - The visitors will have a fight on their hands as Mallorca are chasing a UEFA Cup spot and will be no pushovers...
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of Zaragoza's battle against relegation!
