Levante entered the match on 36 points and in the bottom three, then produced a strong performance to defeat Mallorca 2-0 and pull clear of the drop zone with one game left. Carlos Espi scored in the 32nd minute, and Kervin Arriaga added a second in the 87th minute from a corner. A late penalty by Adrian de la Fuente struck the bar, while both teams had a player sent off in the 85th minute after a VAR review for violent conduct. Elche won 1-0 against Getafe, with Victor Chust scoring early and Getafe reduced to 10 men. Espanyol came from behind to beat Osasuna 2-1, and Atletico Madrid beat Girona 1-0, harming Girona’s survival chances.
"Both sides also had a player sent off in the 85th minute - Roger Brugue for Levante and Johan Mojica for Mallorca - following a VAR review for violent conduct. Elsewhere, there was a relatively straightforward win for Elche, but one that carries significant weight in the battle to beat the drop. Victor Chust scored in the 19th minute with a low drive from outside the area, and the lead held despite Getafe playing with 10 men from the 39th minute after Djene was sent off for a second yellow card."
"Espanyol picked up a valuable three points in the relegation fight, coming from behind to beat Osasuna 2-1 in a result that keeps their safety well within reach. Carlos Romero's deflected free-kick gave Espanyol the lead on 27 minutes, Victor Munoz levelled immediately after half-time with a strike from outside the box, but Kike Garcia finished coolly from close range on 53 minutes to restore the advantage and ultimately secure the win."
"Atletico Madrid kept their third-place finish hopes alive with a 1-0 win over Girona, though the result does significant damage to Girona's own survival hopes. Ademola Lookman finished at close range on 21 minutes after a Griezmann cross, and Oblak did the rest, denying several Girona efforts in the second half. Girona drop into a more precarious position with one game left."
