Lleida's first away victory will have to wait. Jordi Cortés' team fell to CF Vilanova, the group's major revelation, which ended the Lleida team's four-game unbeaten streak. This defeat returns Lleida to the relegation zone, despite having a pending match against Vilassar de Mar.
Vilanova delivered an excellent performance during the first half-hour, enough time to virtually settle the match with a 3-0 score by the 30th minute. The first goal came quickly: after a cross, the Lleida defense was not sharp, and Viladegut left the ball dead at the edge of the box, which Celma capitalized on to score the 1-0, with the shot being deflected by Viladegut himself.
The home side doubled the difference after twenty minutes (2-0) when Bocardo headed a ball crossed from the right by Grima. Striker Joan Torrents, a recent signing for Vilanova, added the third goal with a header, completely alone between the central defenders, beating Satoca at the far post.
The second half saw a quadruple substitution by Cortés, bringing on Marc García, Putxi, Revert, and León. The Lleida players improved their performance, and in the 70th minute, the only reason for hope arrived: Aleix León finished a quick counterattack with a brilliant individual move, cutting past the defender and sending a powerful shot into the top corner to establish the final 3-1 score.
