MADRID -- Sporting Gijon earned promotion to Spain's first division on Sunday, after beating already promoted Real Betis 3-0 on the final day of the season. Sporting finished second ahead of Girona on goal average in the second tier, after Girona conceded a late goal to Lugo and drew 1-1. Sporting most recently played in the top flight from 2008 to 2012. Girona, Las Palmas, Valladolid and Real Zaragoza -- the third-to-sixth place finishers -- will compete in a two-round playoff to determine the third team to go up.
