May 23 : Girona were relegated from LaLiga on Saturday after a 1-1 home draw with Elche consigned them to the second division, two years after their historic third-place finish secured Champions League football.
Needing victory to stay up, Girona fell behind in the first half and although they levelled after the break could not find a winner at a tense Montilivi.
The result left them in the bottom three at the final whistle, joining bottom side Real Oviedo in going down.
Mallorca beat visitors Oviedo 3-0 but finished on 42 points alongside Osasuna and Levante and were relegated after losing the head-to-head tiebreaker between the three clubs.
