Champions League-chasing Villarreal were held to a goalless draw at struggling Leganes.
The visitors failed to generate much in the way of clear-cut opportunities but the draw was at least enough to lift them above Real Sociedad, who play on Monday, into fifth place in La Liga.
Leganes, who had won just once in their last previous six league matches, created a few chances but were happier with the point as it edged them slightly further away from the bottom three.
Martin Mantovani and Luciano Neves had angled shots saved while Unai Bustinza directed a header wide as the hosts began promisingly.
Villarreal came back into the game in the latter stages with Alexandre Pato off-target with his effort, while Roberto Soriano's shot was saved just before the break.
Leganes goalkeeper Iago Herrerin pulled off a good save to deny Samu Castillejo's shot while Sergio Asenjo did similarly to keep out Victor Diaz's effort from distance.
Gabriel, for Leganes, and Santos Borre, for Villarreal, had the best of the remaining chances but neither could make the breakthrough.
