If everything seemed to be going wrong for RCD Espanyol in the first half, the second half was a completely different story. Two goals from the "pericos" secured their stay in the First Division for Manolo González's team.

Javi Puado from a penalty and Pere Milla confirmed the "periquito" team's stay in LALIGA. All this on a Saturday when Leganés confirmed their relegation to the Second Division.

After scoring three goals in the first half and dreaming of staying up, the "pepinero" team saw all their chances of avoiding relegation vanish in the second half. A cruel end to a year for Borja Jiménez's team, who return to the second tier a year after their promotion.

The disappointment at Butarque contrasts with the celebration in Barcelona. The RCDE Stadium erupted with joy (including a pitch invasion) after the final whistle.
