Endless match in Valencia between the hosts and Deportivo Alaves with 13 minutes of injury time in the second half. The guests took the lead twice – in the 7th minute with Martin and then in the 88th minute with a penalty converted by Joan Jordan – but in both cases they were taken back by the hosts first with a penalty from Rioja in the 70th minute and then with Gomez's decisive strike in the eighth minute of injury time. However, the draw is of little use to both teams with Valencia catching Real Valladolid in penultimate place and the Basque team moving to +2 from the relegation zone
