BARCELONA, Spain, March 9, (AP): Teenager Lamine Yamal curled in a second-half goal to grab Barcelona a 1-0 win over Mallorca at home.

Yamal’s exquisite shot from just inside the corner of the area for the 73rd-minute goal salvaged an otherwise lackluster Barcelona from a second straight draw.
It was the 16-year-old Yamal’s sixth goal across all competitions in his first full season with Barcelona. He's set several milestones for his young age, such as being the youngest player to debut and to score in the Spanish league, to score for Spain, and to start in the Champions League.

"I was trying to keep their left back occupied, but since they gave the space I went for my shot,” Yamal said about his goal. "Now we have to think about the Champions League, where we face one of the most important games of the season.”

Coach Xavi Hernández kept Robert Lewandowski on the bench until the final half hour, resting him before Tuesday’s Champions League match against Napoli to see which advances to the quarterfinals. Their first game in Italy ended 1-1.
