Juanmi came off the bench to score his first goal of the season and rescue Malaga a point from a 1-1 at home to Osasuna.
A draw was the least the hosts deserved after dominating from start to finish, but they were made to pay for their carelessness at both ends of the pitch in the first half. Duda should have put Malaga ahead but was unable to make a clean connection with the excellent Isco's cross before Nacho Monreal hit the post.
Those misses were punished when the visitors went in front on 33 minutes as the Malaga defence failed to deal with a corner from the left and Ibrahima Balde poked the ball in a t the near post.
Malaga missed a host of chances early in the second period but eventually did equalise with 20 minutes to go as Juanmi slotted home Sergio Sanchez's cross.
Joan Verdu scored twice in the opening seven minutes as Espanyol ended their
five game winless run with a dominant 4-2 display against
Atletico Madrid.
The midfielder fired past Thibaut Courtois from 30 yards in the fifth minute before he raced into the area and struck his second two minutes later. Romaric scored Espanyol's third before Radamel Falcao pulled one back for the
visitors just after half an hour in a dramatic opening period.
Sergio Garcia added the home side's fourth in the 54th minute before Arda Turan
volleyed Atletico's second from just outside of the area with seven minutes left
on the clock.
Alvaro's last-minute header salvaged a crucial point for Racing Santander against Athletic Bilbao in their 1-1 clash at San Mames.
The hosts looked to be on course for their fifth league win of the season after Jon Aurtenetxe headed them in front with 10 minutes left on the clock before Racing defender Alvaro snatched a point for La Liga's second-bottom team. The Basque side will be disappointed not to have claimed all three points after they dominated the game and enjoyed the vast majority of chances.
Sporting Gijon recovered from heavy defeats in the past two weeks to record a comfortable 3-1 victory of their own at Rayo Vallecano.
The visitors dominated the opening period but were handed the opening goal after calamitous defending by Mikel Labaka and David Cobeno presented Diego Barral with an easy tap-in.
Nacho Novo doubled Sporting's advantage nine minutes before half-time from Miguel De Las Cuevas' fine through ball, and the former Rangers striker made sure of all three points with a neat finish following another defensive error, this time from Alejandro Arribas.
Rayo's improvement after the break was rewarded with a consolation goal in stoppage time as Michu proved too strong for Roberto Canella and calmly slotted past Juan Pablo.
Substitute Javier Casquero scored the only goal as lowly Getafe ended Granada's five game unbeaten run with a 1-0 win at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
Granada had enjoyed a good run of form in recent weeks which included victories over Real Zaragoza, Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla, but that ended against Getafe who climbed out of the relegation zone as a result of the win. Casquero fired home from 18 yards and sealed Getafe's fourth league win of the season in the last real action of the match.
Villarreal came from behind to claim a point in a 1-1 draw against 10-man Real Sociedad.
The ho sts had the better of the opening period, but could not find a way past Claudio Bravo in the Sociedad goal and fell behind seven minutes into the second half when Mikel Aranburu waltzed through the Villarreal box and finished from an angle. The game turned, though, when Gorka Elustondo was sent off with half an hour remaining and Villarreal capitalised on the man advantage when Marco Ruben tapped home Juanlu's cross.
Real Mallorca's Victor ramped up the pressure on beleaguered Real Zaragoza coach Javier Aguirre as his solitary goal condemned the Primera Division's bottom club to a 1-0 defeat.
Having gone into the game under fire owing to a run of seven games without a win, the Argentinian coach was well aware of how important a positive result was for his side. The Blanquillos were unable to give their coach anything to smile about, though, barely creating a chance at La Romareda, raising further questions about how much longer the 53-year-old forme r Mexico coach will be given to turn things around.
