BARCELONA, Spain -- Deportivo La Coruna beat visiting Malaga 1-0 thanks to Luis "Pizzi" Afonsos second-half goal, giving new coach Domingos Paciencia a victorious debut in the Spanish league on Saturday. Deportivos first win in over two months was only its third in 18 rounds. But it was good enough to pull it out of last place after Osasuna fell to the bottom of the standings through a 1-0 loss at Sevilla. "This win is a boost for us, (but) its only one win," said Pizzi. "We have to focus on the next game to get more points because we sure do need them." Deportivo outplayed fourth-place Malaga throughout, with only goalkeeper Willy Caballero and the woodwork keeping the hosts scoreless until Pizzi broke through in the 57th minute at Riazor Stadium. Pizzi, who hit the upright earlier with a free kick, dribbled into the area and wrong-footed defender Martin Demichelis before firing in off the post. Deportivo defender Carlos Marchena ensured the much-needed three points with a timely intervention to disrupt Francisco "Isco" Alarcons point-blank attempt in the final minutes. Paciencia, a former Portuguese player who managed Sporting Lisbon and Braga, replaced fired coach Jose Oltra last Sunday. Paciencia shared credit for the win with his predecessor, whose attacking style proved misguided for the promoted club. Paciencia appeared to put more emphasis on defence in his first match with his players taking less risks going forward. "Four training sessions arent very many. There was work done here by the coach who came before me," said Paciencia. "Each one has his style of play. (But) I have to thank Oltra for the work he did." Malaga continued to struggle scoring on the road, where it has just five goals compared to 23 at home. It was its first loss in four rounds. Elsewhere, Levante beat 10-man Athletic Bilbao 3-1 to close in on Spains top-four Champions League places, while Valencia also came from behind to win 2-1 at 10-man Granada and move into eighth place after its first successive victories this season. Levantes sixth win in nine home games this season lifted it to within one point of fifth-place Real Betis and Malaga. Striker Aritz Aduriz scored his 11th goal of the season to give Bilbao the lead six minutes in. But Christian Lell levelled for the hosts in the 26th, and Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte was shown a direct red card for felling Roger Marti with only the goalkeeper to beat in the 43rd. Midfielder Vicente Iborra headed Levante in front two minutes later. Nabil El Zhar then sealed the victory with a long-range shot in the 69th. Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente, who Juventus is negotiating with to lure to Italy this summer, went on as a late substitute but failed to rally his side. "The most important thing for me is that we were able to better our rivals after falling behind," said Levante coach Juan Ignacio Martinez. "Despite the initial setback, we always played as a unit and got better as the game progressed." Marcelo Bielsas Bilbao remained in 13th place, six points above the relegation zone. Bielsa has yet to solve his teams defensive problems as its conceded 37 goals so far, second worst in the league. At Los Carmenes Stadium, Mikel Rico left Granada a man down in the 34th when he received his second booking. Even so, the hosts struck first when substitute Brayan Angulo looped the ball over goalkeeper Diego Alves five minutes into the second half. Brazil forward Jonas swung the game in Valencias favour in the 59th by heading in Pablo Piattis corner kick. Valencia proceeded to bury the short-handed Granada in its own area, and Piatti finally earned the winner in the 82nd when he volleyed home Roberto Soldados cross. Granadas winless streak at home reached six games. It is one point above the drop zone. After a drab first half, Sevilla reacted and managed to edge out Osasuna courtesy of Emir Spahics header in the 83rd. Sevilla snapped a five-game winless run and climbed into 12th place. On Friday, Betis won 2-1 at Real Zaragoza. League leader Barcelona hosts crosstown rival Espanyol on Sunday. Also, second-place Atletico Madrid visits Mallorca, third-place Real Madrid hosts Real Sociedad, and Celta Vigo plays Valladolid. Getafe visits Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

AKRON, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns will have a quarterback competition. They expect rookie Brandon Weeden to win it. Speaking before a banquet for Browns fans, general manager Tom Heckert said the team drafted Weeden out of Oklahoma State in the first round with the idea he would start in his first season. Heckerts comments came one day before the Browns hold their first organized training activities (OTAs), when Weeden and Colt McCoy will be on the field together for the first time. "You can write about it and talk about it however you want," Heckert said. "The best guy is going to play and we fully expect Brandon to be that guy. Thats our goal is to have him be the guy. I think when we say, open competition, the best guys going to play, thats just the way it is. But we drafted Brandon Weeden to be that guy. "(You) draft a guy 22nd in the draft, you think hes going to be that guy." McCoy has gone 6-15 in two seasons as Clevelands starter. He made 13 starts last season before missing the final three games with a concussion. The Browns pursued a trade to get Robert Griffin III before the draft and had brief talks with Indianapolis abbout a trade for Andrew Luck before selecting Weeden, a 28-year-old former minor league pitcher, with the No.dddddddddddd 22 overall pick. Heckert said the team was impressed with Weedens performance in a recent rookie camp. "Hes got a strong arm, hes accurate, hes smart and picking up the offence was nothing for him," Heckert said. Also, Heckert said he expects defensive tackle Phil Taylor to play this season despite undergoing surgery last week for a torn chest muscle he injured lifting weights. Taylor could be back by late October, Heckert said. "Hell definitely be back, no doubt, no question about it," he said. Heckert said the Browns have more depth on their defensive line to soften the blow of Taylors injury. "We feel a lot better about the position this year than we did last year," he said. "If it happened last year, it would have been a different story. When we came into this thing, we said we were going to build through the draft. We said depth was going to take care of itself. Now, were at a position we have depth at some positions where we can get away with some things we couldnt the last couple years." ' ' '
