SEVILLE, Spain (AP) — Mallorca scored a dramatic stoppage time equalizer at Sevilla to salvage a 1-1 draw in La Liga on Monday.
The result moved both teams up the table, Mallorca to eighth, and Sevilla to 11th.
Sevilla goalkeeper Orjan Nyland dropped a hopeful cross at the feet of Martin Valjent and the Slovak drove in the ball through a sea of legs to rescue a point for the visitors.
Two Mallorca players challenged the Norwegian keeper for the flighted ball, but the referee allowed the goal to stand after a video review.
Sevilla took the lead in first-half stoppage time. The Mallorca defense failed to clear a chip into the box and the ball fell to Kike Salas, who volleyed in from close range.
