CD Lugo 1-0 Sevilla Atletico

After three consecutive draws, Lugo finally clinched their maiden win of the season. It was a tight one to boot, with Joselu's 62nd-minute penalty proving the difference between the two sides and condemning Sevilla At. to their first defeat.

CD Tenerife 1-0 R. Valladolid CF

Tenerife were another team to grab their first three-point haul of the campaign. It was another edgy affair, with Pep Marti's men only just squeaking past R. Valladolid. Carlos Ruiz bagged the only goal of the game with a header just before the half-time whistle sounded. The islanders' gain was the visitors' loss as Paco Herrero's charges saw their undefeated start ended, having recorded two wins and a draw from their opening three fixtures.

CF Reus 1-1 CD Numancia

Newly promoted Reus remain unbeaten after playing their first four LaLiga 1|2|3 matches of the season. Unai Medina put Numancia ahead on 49 minutes, but Ricardo Vaz cancelled out the visitors' lead on 68. The game ended with the points shared and with the Soria club still yet to register a win this term.

Levante UD 4-2 R. Zaragoza

This was the archetypal LaLiga 1|2|3 game: good football, plenty of excitement and a real spectacle. Levante remain unstoppable, with Juan Ramon Lopez Muñiz's men racking up their third league victory of the campaign. Jason netted the home side's first just three minutes in, but Manu Lanzarote levelled the scores nine minutes later. Jose Campaña and Roger both got on the scoresheet to make it 3-1 before the first half was out. After the interval, Roger notched his second and Levante's fourth from the spot, and then Lanzarote managed to pull another back in the 69th minute.

Rayo Vallecano 1-0 RCD Mallorca

This was a bout between two teams searching for their first win of the season, and it was plain to see out on the field of play. The first half was an evenly matched affair. Eduard Campabadal had the best chance to put Los Bermellones ahead when he was through one-on-one, but he fired his shot wide of the post. In the second half, the balance tipped in Rayo's favour with an Alex Moreno goal on 70 minutes.



R. Oviedo 0-0 CD Mirandes

The points were shared at the Carlos Tartiere following a goalless draw between the teams from Asturias and Burgos. Oviedo had the clearest chances through Toche and Nando, whilst Mirandes held out well and enjoyed more possession in the second half. Michu received the biggest ovation of the evening when he came on to make his LaLiga 1l2l3 debut with his boyhood club in the second half.

AD Alcorcon 1-0 Nastic

Alcorcon managed their first victory in LaLiga 1l2l3 at the expense of Nastic, who paid the price for their lack of definition in front of goal. A Fede Vega strike in the 67th minute gave the home side the three points, meaning that the Catalan outfit will have to wait for another matchday to notch up their first victory in the competition.

SD Huesca 3-0 Cordoba CF

David Ferreiro, Samu Saiz and Juan Aguilera grabbed the three goals for Huesca, who produced a superb performance and dominated from start to finish. That domination was rewarded in the form of three points, placing the Aragonese side tenth in the table.



UCAM Murcia 1-1 Elche CF

There was nothing to separate the sides at La Condomina, giving UCAM their third consecutive draw in the competition. Elche took the lead 10 minutes in thanks to a Fran Perez own goal and the Murcians were unable to cancel out the deficit until the 70th minute. They finally managed it through Jona with a header from the heart of the area.

Cadiz CF 3-0 Getafe CF

Cadiz were another team to take their first victory of the campaign. And they did so by doling out a drubbing to Getafe, who slip to second from bottom in the league table. A good deal of the merit behind Cadiz's victory goes to Alfredo Ortuño, who scored in his fourth game on the bounce, netting twice this time around. Aitor Garcia added another in the 81st minute.

Girona FC 3-3 UD Almeria

Matchday 4 of LaLiga 1l2l3 drew to a close with a thrilling, action-packed game with goals aplenty which ended with the points being divided at Montilivi. Pere Pons, Fran Sandaza and Longo were on cue for the Catalan side and Quique Gonzalez, Antonio Puertas and Fidel got the goals for the Andalusians.
