Cádiz kept themselves in the fight to avoid relegation with a 1-2 win at Zaragoza, and they are now only three points away from seventeenth placed Espanyol. Víctor Muñoz's side were trying to get over their midweek cup final defeat at the hands of Espanyol, and they came out before kick off with a poster thanking the fans for their support. After a brief flurry from the visitors things appeared to be on track when Savio fired a powerful shot through the diving hands of Limia, and they could have gone further ahead if Diego Milito and Ewerthon had been able to find the target later in the first half.

As half time approached though the Andalusians started to fight back, with Enrique and Lobos both going close. And just before the break a good run by Lobos inside the area ended with Gabi Milito tripping him up, the Argentine forward converting the resulting penalty kick.

Things were to get worse for the home side just two minutes after the restart, Pavoni beating César again after Lobos set him up. By now the fans were starting to turn on their own players, and the introduction of three substitutes didn't improve the situation. Generelo did test Limia one last time with a dipping shot from outside of the area, but the visitors held on for a first win in seven games which delighted the many supporters who had made the long trip from their home town.
