Valencia lost the second place in the tournament table, unable to beat the rising underdog team of "Malaga" in their away match. Portuguese right-back Miguel Monteiro almost put the visitors ahead in the first half, but his shot hit the crossbar. In the second half, Fabio Aurelio, who had recovered from an injury, also shook the goal post with a penalty kick. "Malaga" took the most advantage of their chance to score a goal, with Brazilian defender Bovio's shot from about 20 meters hitting the top corner.
Turkey's national team striker Nihat Kahveci marked his return to the field after a serious injury, helping "Real Sociedad" move forward in the match against "Zaragoza" in the beginning, but in the second half, "Zaragoza" scored three goals and celebrated the victory.
