A high scoring weekend, with only four keepers managing clean sheets. Víctor Valdés was one of them though, and he opens up a small gap at the top over the two Madrid men Leo Franco and Casillas, both of whom let in one. The other Madrid based goalie Sánchez Broto went one better though, helping Getafe to virtually ensure their continuity in the top flight with a 1-0 win over Levante.

The other two clean sheets came from keepers who were drafted in for this round of matches, Sanzol stepping in to the shoes of Elía to produce an identical result to the midweek cup game against Atlético (same play, different actors), and Palop finally edging out the off-form Cañizares to take over the gloves at Valencia and assist in their 2-0 win over Albacete. Real Sociedad's Alberto also made his second league start of the season, replacing Riesgo who was being rested after he was carried off with concussion the week before. (25.04.05)
