Celta Vigo's hopes of catching fourth-placed Villarreal suffered a setback when they were held at home by Real Betis in La Liga on Saturday.
The visitors took the lead in the first half when Alfred N'Diaye scored from close range, but Celta earned a draw through Pablo Hernandez's 78th-minute equaliser.
It leaves the hosts in fifth place in the table, eight points behind Villarreal, while Betis sit 13th on 37 points.
Sporting Gijon remain in the relegation zone, despite ending Las Palmas' three-game winning streak by coming from behind to draw 1-1.
Las Palmas got off to a perfect start when Pedro Bigas headed them in front in the third minute, but Jony levelled for the struggling visitors three minutes after the restart.
Paraguayan striker Antonio Sanabria squandered a glorious chance to give Sporting the lead but missed the target with just goalkeeper Javi Varas to beat.
Sporting are 18th on 29 points, one behind Granada above them.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad failed to build on last week's win over Barcelona and lost a controversial Basque derby with Eibar 2-1.
David Zurutuza gave Sociedad the lead after seven minutes with an impressive strike, but Sergi Enrich's deflected header levelled the scores in the 32nd minute.
Sociedad's Markel Bergara had a goal ruled out for offside 13 minutes after the break, but moments later Gonzalo Escalante pounced on an error by goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli to nod into an empty net.
Sociedad had an appeal for a penalty turned down in stoppage time when David Junca brought down Carlos Vela.
Eibar move level on 41 points with Sociedad.
