Osasuna boosted their improbable survival hopes by winning for the only the second time this season - and first since last October - by edging a 1-0 victory at Alaves in La Liga on Wednesday.
Petar Vasiljevic claimed his first three-point haul since taking charge of Osasuna in January, courtesy of substitute Alex Berenguer's strike with two minutes remaining.
Osasuna entered the fixture having not won in 21 league attempts and, while they remain marooned at the foot of the table and 13 points adrift of safety, they have given themselves a slim chance of avoiding the drop.
Meanwhile, Sporting Gijon missed the chance to close ground on Leganes after losing 1-0 at home to Malaga, who were grateful for Sandro Ramirez's 40th-minute goal.
The defeat for Sporting means they remain just two places from bottom and five points from safety.
Elsewhere, Celso Borges missed a penalty 13 minutes from time as Deportivo La Coruna settled for a goalless draw with league strugglers Granada to remain 16th in the table.
