Second division, day 15

Leaders Zaragoza crashed to a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the hands of Elche, ending their run of ten games without defeat and six without letting in a goal. They still top the table though ahead of Levante, who beat Córdoba 1-2 thanks to a late Congo goal to move back above Albacete. Other than that it was a low scoring Sunday, with no less than four games ending 0-0 and the match between Badajoz and Eibar finishing 1-1. Sporting Gijon won their local derby against Oviedo 1-0 to leave their opponents firmly anchored at the bottom of the table. (15.12.02)

Albacete moved back into contention for the leadership with a 2-0 win over Racing Ferrol. The third placed side raced into the lead with first half goals from Parri and Jesús Parera to put pressure on Zaragoza and Levante pending Sunday's games. Elsewhere the two Canary Island sides both won against on-form teams to stop their slides down the table. Tenerife beat Poli Ejido 0-1 thanks to Paunovic's sixth goal of the season four minutes from the end, and Las Palmas won 2-0 against Terrassa with goals from Reggi in the first half and Baiano after the break.
