WHAT A WASTE!
Mallorca break, and Angel Rodriguez threads through Sanchez to his left with a through pass which would've seen him clear on goal, but it is too heavy, and Sanchez has to chase to catch up with it out wide and the move fizzles out!

The corner is cleared.
47'
OVER!
Frenkie de Jong's free-kick delivery is aimed towards the near post for Ronald Araujo, but the Uruguayan heads over.
The referee judges that the ball got a Mallorca touch on its way out and it is a Barcelona corner.
