MADRID - Leganes lived to fight another day in La Liga, riding their luck in a 1-0 win at home to Valencia on Sunday after playing most of the second half with 10 men and seeing their opponents squander a penalty.

Valencia earned a penalty soon after following a handball by Leganes' Rodrigo Tarin, but captain Dani Parejo's spot-kick was beaten away by goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar and Leganes somehow clung on to record a first home victory since February. Edu Exposito scored both goals to earn Eibar their first win in four matches, giving them the lead by converting a penalty in the 25th minute.

The victory took Eibar up to 15th in the standings on 39 points. They will be guaranteed survival if Real Mallorca, also in the relegation zone on 32 points, lose at fourth-placed Sevilla later on Sunday.
