Osasuna and Zaragoza ended the weekend in the bottom half of the table on 28 points (level with Málaga and Las Palmas) after drawing in a match without goals at the El Sadar stadium in Pamplona. Miguel Angel Lotina made three changes to the side which beat Barcelona last week, with Fernando suspended and Contreras returning from his a one match ban, and Iván Rosado coming in to support Aloisi in attack. Luis Costa only made one change to his side, Kolmjenovic making his first start in place of the injured Rebosio. Neither side created many goal chances in a game dominated by the two defences, with keepers Unzué (making his 300th appearance in the first division) and Láinez putting in their now usual good performances. The first attempt at goal did not come until the half hour mark, Aragón putting a shot just wide, and Láinez made two good saves from Yanguas and then Puñal just before half time.

If anything the game got worse after the break, with both teams losing their best playmakers Gancedo and Acuña to injury. Milosevic did come close to scoring when he headed the ball almost out of Unzué's hands, the ball running agonisingly past the near post, and Aloisi shot straight at Láinez when presented with a golden opportunity a few minutes later. The game was stopped by referee Pérez Burrull for a few minutes when the home team's radical Indar Gorri fans set fire to a Zaragoza flag and flares were thrown on the pitch, and there were some minor incidents between rival groups, many Zaragoza supporters having made the relatively short trip to Pamplona. They can be forgiven though for not concentrating much on the match. It was more interesting watching the grass grow on the pitch.
