After nine games without a win, Alcorcon finally dug out a victory. It came against Mallorca thanks to a Lucien Owona strike. With 47 minutes played, Oscar Plano's cross in from the flank found the Cameroonian player, who made it 1-0. Mallorca cannot seem to get themselves out of their rut, whilst the home side get to breathe easy.
Mirandes almost managed to pull off the shock result of the weekend. Chema put Los Granotas ahead 10 minutes in. However, Sangalli levelled in the second half and then Roger made it 2-1 from the penalty spot in injury time. Carlos Moreno came within inches of salvaging a point for the visitors when he clattered the woodwork in the final kick of the game.
It ended with a point apiece at La Condomina. UCAM managed to add another one to their tally against Cadiz, one of the most in-form teams in the division. Jona put the Murcians in the ascendancy before the interval. However, the celebrations of Francisco's men were short-lived, with Eddy grabbing an equaliser on 44 minutes.
This promotion battle ended goalless. Neither Huesca nor Getafe managed to break the deadlock. Samu Saiz was the man of the match, producing the best goalscoring chances for the home side. The draw keeps both teams' play-off aspirations intact.
Rayo are on fire at the moment. Michel's charges made it three consecutive games unbeaten, with a draw and two victories. This latest win came against second-placed Girona. Santi Comesaña, Roberto Trashorras and Javi Guerra got on the scoresheet for Rayo, whilst Pedro Alcala pegged one back for the home side when they were 2-0 down. The win opens up a gap between Rayo and the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Girona slip further behind LaLiga 1l2l3 leaders Levante.
Almeria squeezed past fellow strugglers Nastic to make it two wins in a row and give their survival bid a huge shot in the arm. To add further spice to an already intriguing scrap between relegation rivals, the match pitted the Uche brothers against one another. Fittingly, the contest was settled by one of them, visiting Kalu, the older of the two. After firing a warning shot by hitting the outside of the post shortly after half-time, the 34-year-old Nigerian attacker made no mistake in the 72nd minute, nodding home from close range to snatch three precious points for his team.
The Galicians were grateful to Yelko Pino's well-taken volley as they clinched a dramatic late victory that puts them back within striking distance of the play-offs and could galvanise them going into the business end of the LaLiga 1|2|3 campaign. Reus, on the other hand, remain rooted in mid-table.
Aitor Sanz's penalty secured the spoils and propelled the islanders up to third in the standings, at the head of the chasing pack behind the automatic promotion places. Despite the disappointing defeat in what was a six-pointer in the upper reaches of the table, R. Oviedo stay in the play-off positions.
Defender Hector Rodas was the hero for the Andalusians, conjuring up a sensational overhead kick to sink Elche and earn his side maximum points in a game that they dominated from the off. The victory moved Cordoba back out of the drop zone after they had been temporarily leapfrogged by several teams around them.
R. Zaragoza 1-1 R. Valladolid CF
Juan Villar turned the ball into the empty net to hand R. Valladolid the lead after half an hour of this keenly contested, action-packed clash, but Manu Lanzarote drew Zaragoza level not long before half-time. With chances going begging at both ends, ultimately both sides had to settle for a point that meant neither of them went away fully satisfied.
Sevilla Atletico 1-1 CD Numancia
None other than the Sanchez-Pizjuan was the venue for the final fixture of LaLiga 1|2|3 Matchday 32, a meeting of mid-table sides. Curiously enough, it was in the 32nd minute that the deadlock was broken, Antonio Cotan heading the Andalusians into the ascendancy from a fantastic cross. However, Numancia equalised just over five minutes later, Jairo Morillas coolly converting from the penalty spot. With no further goals forthcoming, Sevilla At. stretched their undefeated streak to six matches, while Numancia extended theirs to four.
