Zaragoza and Celta drew 1-1 in the other game on Saturday night, a result which doesn't particularly help either side. Both started the day in the lower reaches of the table, and the two managers put out their best available sides, David Pirri coming in at makeshift left back for the locals and Méndez making his first start this season for the visitors for the injured Velasco. There was a mixed reaction from the fans to the Celta line up which contained two of their ex players, Milosevic being applauded but José Ignacio (who left the sinking ship when they were relegated) getting booed every time he touched the ball.

It was the Celta midfielder who opened the scoring though as the visitors had the best of the early play, heading Sylvinho's corner past Lainez in only the third minute. Despite the fans' reaction he refused to celebrate the goal out of respect. Zaragoza equalised though five minutes later after Savio's free kick was not properly cleared, the ball falling to Ponzio for him to fire it back into the net off the post.

Celta could have gone back in front soon afterwards when Corona hit his own crossbar trying to clear, but after that the locals took over, with Villa going close a couple of times, Cavallero making a vital save from another Savio free kick and Soriano heading wide in front of goal. Jesuli did worry the home fans a bit later on, Lainez saving one effort at point blank range and another shot brushing the bar, but in the end the two managers decided that a point wasn't such a bad thing after all.
