Zaragoza edged Valencia out of fourth spot after a late 0-1 victory over Atlético Madrid in the last game of the weekend. Both sides started the game level on points, and local coach Aguirre decided to give a run out to youngster Víctor Bravo on the left wing with so many players out injured.

The early chances fell to the home side, Luccin heading just wide and césar tipping another header from Galletti over the bar. The visitors hardly responded, the only danger coming from central defender Sergio either side of half time. And as the game wore on both managers decided to ring the changes, with Jurado coming on for Atlético and immediately forcing César into another good save with a free kick.

The introduction of Sergio García for Ewerthon improved things for Víctor Fernández's side. But with a draw on the cards Diego Milito sent substitute Oscar González away, and although Luccin blocked his shot, the ball bounced up allowing the forward to head into an empty net.It was another low for the locals, who seem to have run out of steam after their good start to the season.
