Atletico de Madrid travelled to Granada & managed their 10th Liga win this season defeating the home team 1 - 2. Granada started better until a penalty was called after a foul on David Villa which Diego Costa converted in the 38th min. From here onwards Atletico took over the proceedings with the second goal coming in the 78th min from another penalty converted by David Villa. Atletico then lost Felipe Luis to a red card in the 90th min & in the defensive confusion Granada managed a goal thanks to Ighalo. Granada later "complained" that the penalties were harsh, they were not happy with the referee.

First loss for Villarreal at home this season losing 0 - 2 to Madrid Club Getafe & down to 10 men from the 38th min. Plenty of opportunities for the home side but they missed their chances & finally paid. Getafe got ahead early with a 5th min goal from Marica. The red card to Villarreal defender IƱiguez then gave Getafe "wings" to play harder & the belief that they could win the three points. The second came late in the 92nd min for Getafe from young Serabia

Athletic Club Bilbao had to turn around their match against Elche that finished in a 2 - 2 draw. Elche was "the team" the first half with very dangerous counter-attacking that put Bilbao on the back foot. The first goal for Elche came in the 9th min with a Lomban header. The second came in the 47th min when Aaron scored after Elche was rewarded after being dangerous since their first. However, Bilbao managed to change their style with more determination & a brilliant Muniain pass that found Susaeta in the 55th min to get the first goal for Bilbao. Elche then went into "defensive mode" & gave the ball to Bilbao & they found the equalizer in the 69th min from Aduriz who had just come on as substitute. From here onwards the match was a see-saw of chances & misses to both teams. Entertaining Football.

Real Betis immersed in a Club crisis hosted the always difficult & sticky Levante to finish in a 0 - 0 draw. Betis experienced a lot of bad luck tonight & deserved more, perhaps the victory. They went down to 10 men in the 30th min when Chico was sent off, a goal - which was legal - was disallowed in the 37th min from Molina & that same player then missed a penalty in the 75th min. From the perspective of Levante they were doing their job in avoiding a Betis goal, but the home side must have been thinking they were cursed ( on Halloween !) . Shared points.
