Valladolid thought they had opened the scoring against Sevilla. The referee decided otherwise and whistled the end of the first period a few tenths of a second before.

Valladolid never recovered from this decision and ended up losing 0-3 on their turf. Paulo Pezzolano's players are only a small point ahead of Getafe, the first relegation club. A victory would have done them a lot of good in this race to maintain their place in La Liga.
