Drama in the San Moix stadium, where Mallorca beat Zaragoza 3-2 to send their opponents down to the second division. A heavy rainstorm put back the kick off by an hour, which also meant that the matches in Santander and Huelva had to be delayed. But once things got started an early goal by Güiza was the beginning of the end for Villanova's side. Arango hit the outside of the post a few minutes later, but with Recreativo losing, an equaliser by Oliveira meant that Zaragoza were out of the bottom three.

Their joy only lasted ten minutes though before Webó steered a header past César to restore the lead, That took the locals above Racing in the battle for sixth spot, and although Sergio García and Aimar both tested Moyà, a third goal from Chori Castro put the game beyond Zaragoza's reach.

Oliveira did get one back with virtually the last kick of the match, but there was no time left to get the one goal they needed to overtake Osasuna and stay up. A Zaragoza side who had set their sights on the Champions League were back in the second division six years after they last went down. Mallorca clocked up their sixth win in a row, but their night was spoiled as well when news came in that Racing had won, and that there was no place for the Balearic Islanders in Europe next season.
