Real Madrid beat Real Valladolid 1-0 on Sunday to move above reigning champions Barcelona and three points clear at the top of the table in Spain.
However, there was more frustration for Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid. The Rojiblancos were held to a goalless draw at home to Leganes and are now 10 points off top spot.
Getafe have moved into fourth place in the table after a 1-0 win over Real Betis, while Real Sociedad cruised past struggling Real Mallorca 3-0.
