Leaders Numancia took
another big step towards promotion with a 1-2 win at Gimnàstic on
Saturday evening. Moisés appeared to have saved a point for the Catalans
when he equalised in the ninetieth minute after Del Pino had given the visitors
the lead earlier on. But substitute Toché came on to win the game in the
dying seconds, heading in a corner to take his side seven points clear at the
top pending Sunday's games.
Nàstic drop down into
the relegation zone, further below Alavés, who drew 0-0 against
Castellón, and Las Palmas, who won 0-3 at Granada
74. All the goals for the Canary Islanders came in the second half,
Márquez getting the first after his penalty kick was saved, and
Adrián Colunga adding two more later on. Xerez stay in next to
bottom spot though despite a 1-1 draw at Sevilla Atlético. Pedro
Ríos gave them the lead soon after the break, but Juanjo equalised a few
minutes later. (29.03.08)
Numancia's gap at the top is
now six points after second placed Málaga could only draw 0-0
with Albacete on Sunday evening. The Andalusians are still six points
above third spot though after Sporting Gijón also drew 0-0 at
Celta earlier in the day. Both were helped however by Racing
Ferrol, who produced the surprise of the day, beating Real Sociedad
1-2 to move away from the danger zone. A Jonathan Martín penalty and a
Rudy Carlier strike put the Galicians two up before Carlos Martínez got
one back near the end.
Elche also failed to
close up on the top three after they drew 1-1 at Cádiz, although
they are now equal with Real on points. Cobo squared the match with just two
minutes to go after Dani had given the Andalusians the lead a few minutes
earlier. Tenerife are up to seventh after they beat bottom club Poli
Ejido 2-1, although they were trailing for a long time to a Chico goal
until Nino scored twice in the last seven minutes.
Elsewhere Salamanca
moved up to the top half of the table after a 1-0 victory against Eibar,
David Rodríguez scoring early on to take his side level on points with
their opponents. And Hércules are a point above both of them
after a 2-1 win over Córdoba, Bejan and Jaume putting them two up
shortly before the break, with Javi Moreno scoring for the away side after the
restart.(30.03.08) |
