Third and fourth placed Villarreal and Valencia lost ground on the two leaders after cancelling each other out in a 1-1 draw. Unai Emery surprised everyone lining up with five defenders, but his side went ahead in the twentieth minute when Aduríz got a foot to Joaquín's cross to turn the ball in off Gonzalo.

For the rest of the first half the locals were on the attack, Moyà saving well from Capdevila and Rossi, Cani and Cazorla shooting wide. Nilmar tested Moyà again a couple of times after the restart, and eventually Rossi got ahead of the defence to lift Bruno's cross past the keeper. But although Stankevicius was sent for a second bookable offence by an over-zealous referee, the visiting defence held on for a point which keeps them three points behind their neighbours.
