Almería moved back up to eighth in the table, just three points off the UEFA Cup spots, after beating bottom club Levante 2-1. Soriano took advantage of a mistake from Kujovic to open the scoring in the second minute, and Felipe Melo headed the second from a corner before the interval. The locals did have several efforts saved by Diego Alves, and they also had a penalty claim for hands by Juanito turned down, but they couldn't find the net until substitute Iborra got one back in injury time, too late to change the result.
