Scores in club debut Olivan scored once, took two shots (one on target), created one chance, sent four crosses (one accurate) and made two tackles (two won) during the 1-1 draw with Real Betis on Satur...

Impact Olivan was fantastic and one of the best players for Mallorca on Saturday. The wingback not only created multiple opportunities from the flank, but he also joined the attack a few times. Thanks to his presence on the attack, he managed to bag his first goal for Mallorca with a perfectly timed run and a perfectly placed shot. Olivan will quickly become a household name if he keeps this form up.
