Hercules relegated after draw with Mallorca

MADRID, May 11 (Reuters) - Hercules were relegated from La Liga after letting slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at home to Real Mallorca on Wednesday.



The club from Alicante are 19th on 34 points with two matches left, six points behind 17th-placed Getafe who hold the advantage in head-to-head meetings.

Midfielder Sendoa netted twice in the first half to put Hercules in control.

Two defensive lapses then allowed Mallorca to draw level through Victor and Pierre Webo in the 76th and 80th minutes, leaving Hercules to join bottom club Almeria in the second division next season.

Hercules won promotion last year, securing their first top-flight campaign in 13 years, but have gone straight back down despite having the likes of French striker David Trezeguet and Paraguay's Nelson Valdez in their ranks.
