In a tight first half, both teams went into the interval with the scoreline at 0-0.
Eight minutes into the second half, Javi Hernández netted the game-winning goal from a corner kick from the left by Rubén Pardo.
After 26 matches played, Legeanes are fourth in the provisional standings with 49 points, three less than Espanyol who occupy the second automatic promotion spot.
