Levante significantly boosted their La Liga survival chances on Sunday, while Villarreal drew yet again.
Victor Casadesus' 35th-minute goal was enough to hand Levante a 1-0 victory at Getafe, taking Lucas Alcaraz's men four points clear of the bottom three.
It was Casadesus' third goal in five outings, bringing his season tally to eight - and it sealed Levante's third road win of the season, and second in April alone.
Villarreal had no such luck at Real Sociedad, playing out a 0-0 stalemate.
It was Villarreal's fifth league draw in their past eight fixtures, although Marcelino's men remain well on track for a UEFA Europa League spot.
Villarreal sit in sixth, seven points clear of Malaga, who have a game in hand.
