Outstanding performance
Real Zaragoza•MidfielderDeportivo La Coruña completed a dramatic comeback victory with substitute Samuele Mulattieri's 86th-minute winner proving decisive in this crucial La Liga 2 encounter. After falling behind early to Dani Gómez's sixth-minute strike, Deportivo showed resilience through Stoichkov's quick equalizer, though the Bulgarian's early booking would prove costly. The match transformed in the final quarter-hour when fresh legs from both benches injected pace, but it was Mulattieri who made the telling impact just ten minutes after entering the fray. This vital three points strengthens Deportivo's position in what appears to be a tight promotion race, while Zaragoza will rue their inability to hold onto an early advantage that could have shifted momentum in their favor.
