Elche CF 2-2 R. Valladolid CF
As the scoreline depicts this was a very evenly-matched affair. Both sides had their chances in the first half, but it was R. Valladolid CF who scored first. Roger made it 1-0 to the visitors when he latched onto a great pass from Manu del Moral. Sergio Leon levelled the game just two minutes later.

Albacete 2-1 Athletic Club B
Albacete played their last game of the season in front of their home fans at the Carlos Belmonte stadium and did so with a win over Athletic Club B.

Another piece of good news for Albacete was the return of academy graduate Jose Carrasco, who missed the entirety of this season with a serious injury.
D. Alavés 2-0 CD Numancia
Without a doubt, the game of the weekend. The Basque side sealed promotion to the Liga BBVA with a win over CD Numancia. Fans at the Mendizorroza stadium did not have to wait long for their captain, Manu Garcia, to open the scoring and send the stadium into raptures. Jose Bordalas' team did not sit back and took control of the game. Before the break, Raul Garcia scored with a spectacular free-kick which made it 2-0 and sealed the win. It was a victory worth a place in the top flight.
CD Lugo 0-3 Nastic
Gimnastic are not giving up in their quest for automatic promotion to the Liga BBVA. Having sealed the points away to CD Lugo, they now face an Alaves team who have already sealed promotion.

Manolo Reina also ensured a clean sheet for the visitors when he kept out Pablo Caballero's spot kick.
At. Osasuna 2-3 SD Huesca
There was a goal fest at El Sadar. The win saw the visitors guarantee their place in the Liga Adelante for another season.

SD Huesca improved as the minutes ticked by and they were rewarded when Luis Fernandez levelled the game. That was not the last goal of the first half as Nagore fired the visitors ahead on 35 minutes. Osasuna equalised in the second half only to see Huesca carve out a third goal to seal the points.
R. Zaragoza 1-0 R. Oviedo
Victory leaves R. Zaragoza just a step away from guaranteeing their place in the playoffs, whilst defeat saw R. Oviedo lose any chance they had of promotion.

CD Leganes 2-0 UE Llagostera
A vital win for CD Leganes, who remain second in the table and depend on themselves to seal automatic promotion to the Liga BBVA. Meanwhile, defeat saw UE Llagostera relegated.

The home side had to wait until the second half for their second goal of the game, when Jorge Miramon guided home David Timor's cross.
UD Almeria 2-1 CD Mirandes
The Andalusian team struggled, battled hard and took the points. Despite dominating the match, Mirandes fought hard until the very end.
