Elche CF 0-0 AD Alcorcon

Elche and Alcorcon kicked off Matchday 29 of LaLiga 1|2|3 with a game in which neither side was capable of making the most of their chances. A share of the points sees Elche remain in mid-table and Alcorcon unable to put any distance between themselves and the relegation zone.

RCD Mallorca 1-1 CD Lugo

It was an action-packed game at the Iberostar Estadio. The visitors took the lead through Pablo Caballero 17 minutes in, but let their lead slip just when they appeared to have done enough to take victory. Dejan Lekic (86') rescued a point for Mallorca, who will need to show more of the fighting spirit which they displayed here if they are to escape the drop zone.

R. Valladolid CF 0-4 Levante UD

The three points were never in any doubt for Levante, and they must be feeling increasingly assured of promotion to LaLiga Santander. On this occasion Los Granotas produced a master class at the Jose Zorrilla with two goals either side of half-time. Roger Marti (34') and Sergio Postigo (38') were on cue before the interval, and Jose Luis Morales (74') and Jason Remeseiro (78') turned the win into a convincing one before the second half was out.

CD Mirandes 1-1 UCAM Murcia CF

The Murcians notched up a valuable point to stay out of danger for yet another matchday, whilst Mirandes remain winless at home in 2017 and powerless to escape the relegation places. Jona Mejia put UCAM ahead on 63 minutes, but Iker Guarrotxena equalised just six minutes later to make it 1-1 at Anduva.

CD Numancia 0-0 R. Oviedo

The Sorians and Asturians both walked away from this clash with no more than a point to show for themselves, despite the concerted efforts of both teams at the Nuevo Los Pajaritos. The result means that Numancia remain without a win since 12 February (1-0 against CF Reus), and R. Oviedo remain unbeaten since 29 January (3-0 to UD Almeria).

Cordoba CF 2-1 R. Zaragoza

Cordoba produced another epic performance full of belief to win this game, which became an uphill battle early on after Angel Rodriguez netted for Zaragoza. However, the home side seized the initiative in the dying stages of the game and managed to level through Rodri, before Sasa Markovic got in on the act in injury time to steal the three points.

UD Almeria 0-0 SD Huesca

The spoils were shared at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos in a game in which the away side had the better chances, but were foiled repeatedly by home goalkeeper Casto, who pulled off a number of notable saves. The stalemate leaves Almeria still stuck in the relegation mire, while frustrating Huesca's hopes of narrowing the gap to the playoff positions.

Sevilla Atletico 2-2 Nastic

It was an end-to-end affair between these two mid-table outfits at none other than the Sanchez-Pizjuan. Juan Delgado put Nastic in front with a fine curling effort on the brink of half-time, but the Andalusians came out much more purposefully after the break and turned the tables courtesy of a superb, quick-fire double from Ivi (55' and 57'). Achille Emana's deflected strike from distance in the 71st minute salvaged a point for the Catalans.

Cadiz CF 1-0 Rayo Vallecano

Alvaro Cervera's Cadiz climbed up to third thanks to a hard-fought win at the Ramon de Carranza. The Andalusians went close on several occasions in the first half before Alvaro Garcia grabbed the only goal of the game in the 36th minute, latching on to a through ball and clipping home with his left foot. A second loss in three matches and a fourth in succession on the road sees Rayo sink to just one place off the bottom of the table. 

CF Reus 1-2 Girona FC

Girona ran out victorious in a rip-roaring Catalan derby that could have gone either way. The automatic promotion hopefuls moved into a two-goal lead through a pair of well-taken finishes from Portu (48') and Fran Sandaza (75'), but Reus did not throw in the towel and pulled one back in the 89th minute through David Querol's cushioned volley. The hosts were then handed a golden opportunity to snatch an equaliser at the death, only for Edgar Hernandez to blaze a stoppage-time penalty over the bar.

Getafe CF 2-2 CD Tenerife

There was more late drama in another thrilling encounter at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, where the two promotion contenders cancelled each other out. Getafe gained the upper hand midway through the first half, Jorge Molina dusting himself down after being wrestled to the ground to open the scoring from the spot, but Anthony Lozano restored parity just before the hour mark. Alejandro Faurlin made it 2-1 to the Madrilenians in the final few minutes, sliding in to convert from a corner, before Cristo Gonzalez silenced the home crowd with a 90th-minute leveller.
