Racing Santander are all but guaranteed Primera Division football next season after coming from behind to beat 10-man Real Valladolid 3-2 at El Sardinero.
Oscar Serrano got the Cantabrians off to a great start when he fired the home side in front after just four minutes, but Valladolid hit back with two quick strikes from Victor and Henok Goitom to go in ahead at the interval.
Valladolid were reduced to 10 men three minutes after the break, though, when Inaki Bea was sent-off and Jonathan Pereira levelled for the home side on the hour mark.
The visitors defended bravely after that, but Nikola Zigic struck with a header five minutes from time to give Racing a vital win, which sees them move up to 42 points - five clear of the drop zone with only six to play for.
Racing: Toño, Valera (Pinillos m. 25), Marcano, Christian Fernández (Edu Bedia m. 25), Sepsi, Moratón, Munitis, Pereira, Zigic y Oscar Serrano (Tchité m. 70).
