BARCELONA, Spain - Mallorca beat Valencia 2-0 thanks to Victor Casadesus' goal and assist on Sunday, extending its excellent start to the Spanish league season.

Undefeated Mallorca's third win in as many games at Iberostar stadium lifted it provisionally into second place, four points behind leader Barcelona.

Victor put Joaquin Caparros' team ahead eight minutes in when his shot slipped under goalkeeper Diego Alves. The Spanish forward then headed on a long goal kick for Angel Arizmendi to double the hosts' advantage in the 55th just seconds after coming on as a substitute.

Valencia has just one win through five rounds.

Also on Sunday, it's: Levante vs. Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid vs. Valladolid, Athletic Bilbao vs. Malaga, and Rayo Vallecano vs. Real Madrid.
