CE Sabadell has suffered its first defeat of the season in Lliga Hypermotion, losing 2-0 to RCD Mallorca at Son Moix. The home team sealed the match with their initial attacks, leaving the 'arlequinat' side with eight points in the mid-table.

The team coached by Ferran Costa fielded a consistent lineup with the sole change of Ángel Baena starting, altering the wing-back profile. Miki Codina played as a centre-back, and Joel Priego partnered Niko Gioacchini in attack.
The match began with intensity, as Centre d'Esports aimed to press and control possession. However, Mallorca capitalized on a counter-attack to open the scoring in the 11th minute with a goal from Adrián Fuentes, who chipped Fuoli. Shortly after, a defensive error by Sabadell nearly led to a second goal.
Before the half-hour mark, Adrián Fuentes scored the second goal (24th minute) following a significant mistake by Albert 'Urri'. Sabadell attempted to react with set-pieces and high recoveries but lacked precision in the final pass. Codina had the best chance before halftime, saved by Tenas.
In the second half, Ferran Costa made four substitutions, including José Luis Català and Javi López-Pinto. Centre d'Esports improved in possession and attacking threats, with shots from Urri, López-Pinto, and Priego, but failed to convert. Mallorca also posed a threat on the counter, with a shot from Álex Sala saved by Fuoli.
Despite consistent pressure from Sabadell, particularly in the final stages with chances from Gioacchini and Obolskii, the score remained unchanged. This first defeat of the season leaves CE Sabadell with eight points, as they prepare to host Real Oviedo next week.
