There is one caveat. Real Murcia, another team hovering near the top of the table, did not play this matchday. Their game against Cartagena was postponed and, had they won, they would have been level with Real Zaragoza on 12 points.
On Sunday night, it was time for the usual look at the standings. Villarreal B lead Group II of the third division with 13 points, one more than second-placed Real Zaragoza on 12. Real Jaén, who lost 2-0 to Antequera this weekend, are third.

Real Murcia are directly below them. With nine points, they are three behind Real Zaragoza, but a hypothetical win against Cartagena would put them level with the Blanquillos. The scenario facing the Aragonese side must therefore be taken into account.
THE SCHEDULE
Real Zaragoza will now host C.D. Teruel, a side that have yet to open their winning account. The match will be played at Ibercaja Estadio this Sunday at 9:00 p.m. A win would make it five consecutive victories.
After that, they will play three consecutive away matches: Atlético Madrileño, Real Murcia and Europa. The wheel keeps turning.
