Real Madrid beaten by Osasuna to boost Barcelona in La Liga title race
Spanish league leader Real Madrid was stunned by Osasuna in a 2-1 loss on Saturday.
Raul Garcia's 90th-minute winner means Barcelona can overtake Madrid at the top of the standings by beating Levante on Sunday.
Madrid is two points clear of second-place Barca, having played a game more.
Vinicius Junior looked to have at least salvaged a point for Alvaro Arbeloa's team with his goal in the 73rd, which leveled the game after Ante Budimir's first-half penalty had given Osasuna the lead.
Madrid fans were likely expecting it to be a launchpad to take all three points - but Garcia's goal from close range provided a twist in the race for the title.
A wild finish in six-goal thriller in Sociedad
Real Sociedad drew 3-3 with last-place Real Oviedo after a wild finish at Estadio Municipal de Anoeta.
Oviedo took control of the match with two quick goals after halftime from Federico Vinas, who scored with headers in the 50th and 52nd minutes.
Orri Oskarsson started the fightback for Sociedad with a powerful header in the 64th and Duje Caleta-Car headed in another to level in the 87th.
Oskarsson scored his second of the match with a clinical finish to give the home side the lead in the 90th — but the drama wasn't done.
In the second minute of added time Eric Bailly leveled the game again to rescue a point for Oviedo.
Even then there was still time for Goncalo Guedes to hit the post in 99th.
Fifth-place Real Betis could lose ground in the race for Champions League qualification after a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano.
Isi Palazon's goal in the 42nd cancelled out Cedric Bakambu's opener for Betis.

Daytona 500 Winner Tyler Reddick On Pole After Rain Wipes Out Atlanta Qualifying
EchoPark Speedway (Hampton, Ga.) — Rain washed out NASCAR Cup Series qualifying, putting Daytona 500 winner Tyler Reddick on the pole for the Autotrader 400 on Sunday. When qualifying is not held, the starting order is set by the NASCAR performance metric — 70 percent the finish from the previous race and 30 percent of the car's owner point standings. Reddick had the best score (he finished first at Daytona and leads the standings), so he starts on the pole. Joey Logano, who finished third in the Daytona 500, starts second. With qualifying rained out, the first laps drivers take at Atlanta will be in the race on Sunday afternoon (3 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app). They do not practice on the drafting tracks after the Daytona 500 because of the risk for the teams of a crash, while practice in drafting can outweigh the knowledge gained by the practice. Reddick probably liked the fact that he had a day without a lot of responsibilities after a few days of media as the Daytona 500 winner. "There's a number of things that have been out of sorts, if you will, but for the most part, it was a normal week on the prep side," Reddick said. "So I think I'll be good." The FOX Weather forecast for Sunday is for cool temperatures in the 40s with no chance of rain.
