  David de Gea Top of the Match

  The 20-year-old's stock continues to rise thanks to saves from Webo and Castro, and when the former stepped up with a second half penalty, the young shot-stopper was equal to his effort.

  Juan Valera

  The full-back was handed a rare start by coach Quique Sanchez Flores, and repaid his faith by netting the crucial opening goal with a neat header. Was impressive and solid defensively, too.

  Diego Godín Leal

  Thrown back into the side and was a strong presence in the center, competing well with Webo and latterly Castro, earning their clean sheet.

  Tomas Ujfalusi

  Moved back into the center of defense rather than his conventional right-back role, and looked far more comfortable dealing with the physical nature of Webo competently.

  Antonio López Flop of the Match

  Recalled to the starting line-up and offered his experience to the back four, becoming involved in an intriguing battle with Emilio Nsue, before seeing red for bringing down the attacker inside the area.

  Paulo Assunçao

  More physical than usual, protecting the central defenders by intercepting possession, refusing to allow Mallorca to link up with the front two.

  Tiago

  A more reserved display from the Portuguese, but sparked quick counter attacks whenever possible, and was more industrious than inventive.

  Elías

  Bizarre home debut for the Brazilian who seemed to be on the edge of the action for the first half, and who was replaced at half time.

  Fran Mérida

  Superb through pass set up Forlan's goal and looks to be maturing into his role at the Vicente Calderon.

  Reyes

  Excellent display from the winger, whose teasing corner created Valera's opener, then got his own name on the scoresheet, showing great energy in the last minute to add gloss to the win.

  Diego Forlan Corazo

  The striker has been off form of late, and while he did not see much of the ball in this match, he was in the right place to convert the ball past Aouate and put his side in a strong position.

  Juanfran

  Came on at half-time and continued his encouraging start to his Atletico career. Suffered late tackle from De Guzman that saw the Mallorca man dismissed.

  Dudú Aouate

  Never really forced into a save in the entire match, but was helpless for all three of Atletico's goals.

  Kevin

  The full-back did not get forward as often as his team would have liked, and struggled to deal with the trickery and pace of Reyes, who gave him a difficult evening.

  Rubén

  Looked susceptible any time that Atletico Madrid attacked with pace, and lost Forlan for the crucial second goal that gave his team a mountain to climb.

  Nunes

  The experienced stopper was wasteful when attempted to build from the back, and was not as his solid best when forced into defensive duties.

  Pablo Cendrós

  Faced with Merida and Antonio Lopez attacking on his flank, and was often overwhelmed, as was the rest of the Mallorca back four, who suffered an off night.

  Joao de Albuquerque Bruno

  The midfielder was a willing runner but was always on the verge of the action, and in the end had no impact on the outcome of the match.

  Jonathan De Guzmán

  Constantly attempting to build and probe from the center of the pitch, and despite his efforts often being in vain, he proved to be one of Mallorca's best performers on the night, despite his harsh late red card for a foul on Juanfran.

  Michael Pereira

  Has been in good form of late from his wide midfield berth, but this was a poor display from the Frenchman, whose shooting wayward and his link up play not of a sufficient standard.

  Emilio Nsue López

  He and Antonio Lopez enjoyed a decent tussle, which the winger won when Lopez was dismissed for bringing him down in the area, but his efforts were in vain as the kick was missed.

  Pierre Achile Webó

  The Cameroon international enjoyed a miserable evening, getting no change out of Godin and Ujfalusi, and missing a penalty that could have given his team a route back into the match.

  Chory Castro

  Came on midway through the first half and looked to be threatening, his touch and invention giving Atleti problems, but could not beat De Gea.
