MADRID (AP) - Huesca beat Levante 2-0 to move closer to breaking out of the relegation zone in the Spanish league on Friday.

Rafa Mir scored a goal in each half to end the visitors' four-game winless streak and leave the team in 18th place, just a point from safety. Huesca began the match in last place.

AlavÃ©s, which faces Celta Vigo at home on Sunday, dropped to bottom in the 20-team standings. AlavÃ©s is immediately behind Eibar, which visits third-place Real Madrid on Saturday.

The first team outside the relegation zone is Elche, which hosts Real Betis on Sunday.

At the top, AtlÃ©tico Madrid has a four-point lead over Barcelona. AtlÃ©tico visits fourth-place Sevilla on Sunday, while Barcelona hosts Valladolid on Monday.
