MADRID: Leganes lived to fight another day in La Liga, riding their luck in a 1-0 win at home to Valencia on Sunday after playing most of the second half with 10 men and seeing their opponents squander a penalty.
Defeat would have condemned Leganes to relegation, while the win saw them instead move up to 18th place in the standings on 32 points with two games remaining, three points behind 17th-placed Alaves who have a game in hand.Elsewhere, Eibar practically sealed their top-flight status by beating relegated Espanyol 2-0 away from home.Edu Exposito scored both goals to earn Eibar their first win in four matches, giving them the lead by converting a penalty in the 25th minute.
The victory took Eibar up to 15th in the standings on 39 points. They will be guaranteed survival if Real Mallorca, also in the relegation zone on 32 points, lose at fourth-placed Sevilla later on Sunday.
