Deportivo La Coruna and Barcelona B have played out a goalless draw in their Spanish Segunda Division encounter at Estadio Municipal de Riazor.

The hosts went into the match knowing that a win could send them top of the table and give their hopes of automatic promotion to La Liga a massive boost.

Meanwhile, Barcelona B could have moved into the top six with a victory, but still climb up to seventh despite only picking up a point.

Neither side could break the deadlock in a tight encounter as Barca's two-match winning run came to an end, while Deportivo made it two games without a victory in the league.
