Sporting Gijon generate enthusiasm for a second-half fightback to claim a 2-1 win at Mallorca in the Primera Division.

The hosts controlled the first half and deserve to go ahead after 16 minutes when Michael Pereira's cross to post back to Gonzalo Castro to go home.

Mate Bilic but replaced David Barral at rest and Croatia striker made an immediate impact when he headed in at the far post cross from Alberto Lora five minutes into the second half.

And the visitors completed the comeback 15 minutes later as Miguel de las Cuevas sent a cross into the area that turned into his own net by Joao Victor.

Mallorca went into the game having drawn their first two games under new manager Joaquin Caparros, but went with the intention of attacking much larger and could be more than one after dominating the opening quarter.

Emilio Nsue shot just wide within three minutes after good work from Victor bottom left and then into the side netting from a narrow angle 10 minutes later.

Sporting are not able to cope with the speed and movement Mallorca under the wing and another while moving flows then brought the opening goal.

The visitors rarely threatened in the opening period, with Dudu Aouate forced into just one of the long-range shot saved by De las Cuevas.

Tomer Hemed, still awaiting his first goal for Mallorca from open play, hardly so after the break but his drive up from outside the area flew over.

But Sporting back on level terms as Lora explode under the right and hung up the cross and high profits enabled him to power Bilic header into the past Aouate.

The game became increasingly stretched and De las Cuevas took advantage of the extra room when he defeated Pedro Bigas and cut the ball in the area where Victor stretch could only divert the ball into his own net.

Suddenly, after mastering the game for a long time, Mallorca is behind and shot narrowly wide Hemed they search for answers.

Nearly find an equalizer when a shot Emilio Nsue come back from the post and beat goalkeeper Juan Pablo at the back but did not rebound into the net.

Instead Sporting got lucky and was held on moving out of the relegation zone.
