Valencia moved fourth as Simone Zaza nettedFourth-placed Valencia moved to within a point of Real Madrid with a 2-0 win over Real Betis in La Liga on Sunday. But Espanyol - who beat Real Madrid in midweek - had the final say when Brazilian forward Leo Baptistao swept home Jose Manuel Jurado's cross in the first minute of stoppage time. That denied Levante a first win in 15 La Liga games and resulted in promotion-winning coach Muniz's departure. Real Sociedad put more clear water between themselves and the relegation zone with a 2-1 win over Alaves. Lionel Messi scored his 600th career goal as Barcelona landed what could be the knock-out blow in this season's La Liga title race with a 1-0 win over nearest challengers Atletico Madrid.
