Nightmare at the Metropolitano: Real Mallorca lose 0-3 — what happens next?

Answer

Why are set pieces such a problem for Real Mallorca?

The Atlético match showed how costly set-piece errors can be for Real Mallorca, both in the own goal and in the late goal from a corner situation. That usually points to issues with marking, covering runners and reacting quickly when the first ball is cleared. Set pieces remain an area where the team needs more clarity and consistency.
