On Saturday (13th) in the 11th round of the Spanish championship, six home teams won victories, and one match ended goalless.
Misfortune continues to haunt the defending champions "Valencia", who played a goalless draw at home in front of 45 thousand spectators against last season's Copa del Rey winners "Zaragoza". It is worth mentioning that in the very end of the match, "Valencia" scored two goals, but both were disallowed due to offsides, which were frequent in the match.
In the match held in La Coruna, "Deportivo" players secured a narrow victory against Valencia's "Levante" team, the discovery of this season, with the only goal of the match scored by Diego Tristan from eleven meters.
Temporarily, Barcelona's "Espanyol" team climbed to second place in the league table by defeating "Racing Santander" 2-1 at home.
"Getafe" secured their second consecutive victory by defeating "Malaga" 1-0, slowly climbing up from the bottom of the league table.
A change for the better came to another "La Liga" outsider, the "Numancia" team, who fired their head coach last week - guided by the team's sports director, "Numancia" players defeated "Sevilla" 2-1 at home and secured their second victory of the season.
In the remaining matches of the 11th round taking place today (Sunday), league leaders "Barcelona" will travel to Seville to face "Betis", "Real" Madrid will host "Albacete", and "Mallorca" will play against Madrid's "Atletico".
