Lago Junior is Mallorca's top scorer and Kubo is a media sensation, but the main thing to highlight is nothing to do with any player, but the penalty spot. No less than 14 penalties have been awarded in the 15 matches involving Mallorca this season.

Mallorca are fighting this season to stay up after their brilliant promotion to La Liga. Vicente Moreno's team are 17th with 14 points. Lago Junior is the club's top scorer. Kubo has caught the eye of the media and others like Febas, Salva Sevilla and Dani Rodriguez are also important. 

However, something else is also catching people's eye. As 'AS' say, the main protagonist in Mallorca games is the penalty spot. There have been 14 penalty kicks in the 15 matches played so far. 

Of them, six penalties have been in favour and eight have been against although the curious thing is that all of them came in eight matches. That is because some encounters had two or three penalties in them. 

The islanders have only missed one of the six which was the first one. Abdon Prats sent the ball wide against Athletic Bilbao in matchday four and then Lago Junior (3), Salva Sevilla and Dani Rodriguez scored the others. 

Mallorca have conceded seven goals in the eight spot kicks they have given away. Manolo Reina saved Aduriz's versus Athletic Bilbao. Valencia, Getafe, Alaves, Valladolid, Villarreal and Betis all scored.
