Osasuna kept up their recent good form with a 1-4 victory over Villarreal, their sixth win in a row. Héctor Font returned to his old club and proved to be the star of the match, setting up Webó to head the opener early on and then finding Nekounam for him to beat the offside trap and head a second close to the break. And ten minutes in to the second half another pass from Font put Webó through, Barbosa having little option but to bring him down and give away a penalty which David López converted.

Up to that point the locals had hardly appeared on the scene, but they finally woke up and Diego Forlán and Cani both missed chances before Cani got on the end of Riquelme's wide free kick to thump the ball in to the far top corner of the net. Forlán thought he had scored again only to have the strike ruled out for a dubious offside, but a few minutes later Juanfran latched on to Raúl García's cross to squeeze a shot past Barbosa on the near post and wrap things up.
