Bottom club Las Palmas recorded only their second victory of the season, beating Córdoba 3-1 to move level with Albacete on points. Adrián scored opened the scoring from the penalty spot after he was fouled by Rubén midway through the first half, and the visitors were left with ten men soon afterwards when Pablo Ruíz picked up two bookings in quick succession.

Alavés inched away from the danger zone after drawing 2-2 at Elche, although they felt unlucky not to come away with more after twice taking the lead. The Vitoria based side went ahead in the second minute after Samuel gave away a penalty which Raúl Sánchez converted, but ten minutes later Miguel equalised with a lob over the head of Bernardo. Gabri restored the lead with just under an hour gone after Astudillo and Toni Moral combined to set him up, and the visitors could have increased their lead before Pere Martí picked up Cobo's cross to level the scores once again five minutes from the end.

Málaga stay top though after Numancia lost 0-2 to Granada 74, their second home defeat in a row.

Sporting Gijón took advantage to move into second place, ahead of Numancia on goal difference, after a 4-2 win over Cádiz.

Roberto saved a Casas penalty after the striker was brought down by Gerardo, and Diego Castro set up Luis Morán and then scored himself with a long shot to make it four.
