MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid tightened their grip on fourth spot in the Primera Liga, and a berth in the Champions League qualifiers, with a 3-0 home win over Recreativo Huelva on Saturday.

Two-goal midfielder Ignacio Camacho, who turns 18 on Sunday, got on the scoresheet for the first time while fellow teenager Sergio Aguero weighed in with his 17th goal of the season.

Atletico have 58 points, three behind third-placed Barcelona and five clear of Racing Santander who both play on Sunday.

At the other end of the table Real Zaragoza snatched a last-gasp 1-0 win over Deportivo Coruna to climb out of the relegation zone.

Zaragoza laid siege to the Depor area in the second half and looked as though they would be denied by a combination of brilliant keeping by Dudu Aouate and poor finishing.

But Argentine centre-back Roberto Ayala stabbed the ball home from one metre during a goalmouth scramble four minutes into stoppage time.
