Zaragoza drop out of the European spots to ninth after losing 0-1 to Mallorca, the first points they have dropped at the Romareda stadium after five straight home wins. The result takes the Balearic side off the bottom of the table, and they are unbeaten in the league since new manager Héctor Cúper took over three games ago.

The home side came out full of confidence, with Westerveld having to save a long shot from Ponzio and Alvaro heading wide. But the visitors took the lead with virtually their first attack, Milito misjudging a long ball allowing Jesús Perera to cross into the box, where Luis García was waiting to beat the local keeper (also Luis García) with a shot on the turn.

Zaragoza tried their best after that, with Galletti and Savio in particular testing the Dutch keeper. But without the injured David Villa they were unable to find a way past a well ordered defence, more disciplined already as Cúper applied his "catenacchio". The few visiting fans, which included the incognito ex Mallorca striker Samuel Eto'o, went home happy.
