Mista's last gasp rescue

AFP, Madrid
Mista Ferrer's last minute goal gave Valencia a 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad to keep them on top of the Spanish first division while, at the other end, Murcia were relegated after they lost 1-0 to Real Betis on Sunday.
Valencia stay in the lead in the title race, but only on goal difference from Real Madrid, who won 2-1 at Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
Both teams have 70 points from their 33 games.
Real Sociedad went ahead after 64 minutes thanks to a thunderbolt from the edge of the area by Xabi Alonso.
The Basques added to their tally five minutes later when Valery Karpin scored from the spot after Oscar De Paula was judged to have been tripped in the box.
Valencia than threw everything into attack and late goals from Vicente Rodriguez and Mista Ferrer got them a share of the points, although their six game winning streak came to an end.
"This game showed the true qualities of these players. They showed great spirit in recovering from being two goals down. The supporters should also take great credit for never giving up and always supporting the players," said Valencia coach Rafa Benitez.
Barcelona moved up to third after their comfortable 3-0 win over Malaga, the goals from
Javier Saviola, Luis Garcia, Philip Cocu all coming in the first 33 minutes.
The Catalans are now seven points behind the leading pair, with five games remaining, after now going unbeaten for 15 games.
The John Toshack-coached Murcia, last season's second division champions, returned to that level after Betis' Brazilian midfielder Assuncao scored the only goal of the game after four minutes, from a free kick just outside the box.
The victory was Betis' first in nine games.
"Going down has been likely for some time, this just fulfils all the predictions. Nevertheless, I have never seen a team put in such an effort week-after-week for so little reward, although they are rather innocent in front of goal," said Toshack glumly.
The next task for the Welsh coach is to ensure that his side do not go down in history as one of the worst teams in Spanish first division history.
If Murcia fail to win any of their remaining five games then they will finish the season with just three victories. Only two other teams in the last 50 years have ended the season with less wins to their name.
Espanyol and Celta Vigo, the other sides in the relegation zone, gave themselves a stay of execution when they both managed battling away wins.
Celta, fourth last year, finally found the form that has eluded them this season and won 2-0 at Albacete.
Juanfran Garcia opened the scoring midway through the first half and then Gustavo Lopez found the net from Juan Valesco's centre barely a minute after the break.
Espanyol got three points with a 3-1 win at Osasuna thanks to the brilliance of Spnish international Raul Tamudo.
Tamudo scored Espanyol's opener after 42 minutes and then made Alex Fernandez and Maxi Rodriguez's second half goals.
Real Mallorca, who are now just two points above the relegation zone, went down 2-1 at home to UEFA Cup semi-finalists Villarreal.
Mallorca squandered a golden opportunity to salvage a point with the last kick of the game when Samuel Eto'o, who had earlier scored from the spot, had his second penalty saved by Villarreal keeper Jose Manuel Reina and the Cameroon international left the field in tears.
