Only one match on Saturday night, with Sevilla beating Osasuna 2-1 to move up to seventh spot pending Sunday's games. The match ended in turmoil though after referee Iturralde González awarded a controversial injury time penalty to the locals, and the police had to separate players and staff at the end.

Sevilla had the better of the first half, with Alves shooting wide and Luis Fabiano bringing a good save out of Ricardo. However Monreal could have given the visitors the lead with a long free kick which hit the foot of the far post.

Either side of half time Ricardo was called upon to keep out Luis Fabiano and Jesús Navas, but ten minutes in to the second half Poulsen gave the Andalusians the lead when he got ahead of the keeper to turn Chevantón's free kick into the net. However Kike Sola equalised with an individualist goal a few minutes later, turning past Poulsen and Mosquero before firing a shot wide of De Sanctis.

Dady hit the bar again and Alves and Luis Fabiano both tried their luck, and Osasuna were left with ten men when Josetxo picked up a second booking. And the game appeared to be heading for a draw when Javi García dived low to clear at the feet of Chevantón, Iturralde surprising everyone pointing at the spot and showing a second yellow card to the midfielder after the ball rolled against his arm whilst on the floor.

Luis Fabiano stepped up to drive home the resulting penalty, but not for the first time the match between these two sides ended with embarrasing scenes as players and coaching staff jostled each other on the pitch. Iturralde and his infamous linesman Rafa Guerrero beat a hasty retreat.
