What followed was a rapid collapse for Mallorca. Just four minutes later, Alex Baena doubled Villarreal’s lead with a clinical finish. The floodgates stayed open as Dani Parejo added a third goal for the home side in the 26th minute.

The relentless attack continued, and by the 28th minute, Yeremy Pino made it 4-0 for Villarreal. In just nine minutes, the home team had turned the game into a one-sided affair. From there, Villarreal comfortably managed the rest of the match and secured a dominant 4-0 victory.

A record equalled for Villarreal

The feat marked a historic moment for Villarreal, as this was the fastest they had ever scored four goals, breaking their previous record of 14 minutes set in 2003. It was also the quickest four-goal burst in La Liga since Barcelona managed the same feat against Deportivo Alavés in 2017.
