Racing Santander and Almeria clinch crucial wins

Racing Santander and Almeria both climbed away from the Spanish league's relegation zone Sunday with badly needed wins.

Santander beat Tenerife 2-0 with second-half goals from Gonzalo Colsa and Francisco "Xisco" Jimenez, lifting the team two places to 14th on 16 points.

Almeria beat bottom-placed Xerez 1-0 with an 89th minute winner from Jose Ortiz Bernal in Juan Manuel Lillo's first game in charge following the departure of Hugo Sanchez.

The result leaves Almeria in 15th place on 16 points.

Another struggling team, Malaga, appeared to have risen out of the bottom three, twice going ahead against Sporting Gijon with goals from Sergio "Duda" Barbosa and Weligton before the hosts equalized through Gregory Arnolin and a long-range shot by Roberto Canella.

Malaga remains 18th with 13 points.

In other games it was: Getafe 1, Valladolid 0; and Zaragoza 0, Deportivo La Coruna 0.

Later Sunday, Real Madrid will go level on points with league leader Barcelona if it beats Osasuna. Also, Mallorca hosts Athletic Bilbao.

On Saturday, Villarreal held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw, Valencia beat Espanyol 1-0 and Atletico Madrid beat Sevilla 2-1.

Barcelona leads the standings with 40 points. Real Madrid is next with 37, Valencia has 32 points and Sevilla 30.
