BARCELONA, Spain -- Expected to struggle this season, Real Zaragoza and Rayo Vallecano showed their mettle by fighting back from two-goal deficits to record victories and move into the top half of the Spanish league on Saturday. Zaragoza roared from behind to rout 10-man Deportivo La Coruna 5-3 at Romareda Stadium, while Rayo rallied to edge out 10-man Celta Vigo 3-2 for its second straight win. "We rebounded to win like the great teams do," said coach Manolo Jimenez, whose Zaragoza languished in the relegation zone for most of last season before barely avoiding the drop. Also, Real Sociedad beat Malaga 2-1 for the Basque teams first away win since Jan. 14 of last season to escape the relegation zone. Deportivo looked set to cruise to its first away win of the season after two errors by Zaragozas Franco Zuculini led to goals by Bruno Gama and Ivan "Riki" Sanchez in the 13th and 21st minutes. Antonio "Apono" Galdeano pulled one back for Zaragoza in the 27th with a spot kick after Tiago Pinto controlled the ball with his arm inside the area. But the hosts didnt start to dominate until Luis "Pizzi" Afonso was sent off with his second booking four minutes after halftime. Zaragoza midfielder Paco Montanes equalized off a set piece in the 60th. Alvaro Gonzalez then grabbed the lead six minutes later before Portugal striker Helder Postiga netted a brace against Deportivos demoralized defence. Substitute Rodolfo Bodipo scored Deportivos third goal in added time. "This was a night for all those who love Zaragoza to celebrate," said Jimenez. "There was a great communion between the team and our fans after we went down 2-0 due to a pair of accidents." Earlier in Madrid, Celta striker Iago Aspas gave the visitors a 2-0 lead with goals in the 12th and 34th minutes. The match, however, took a dramatic swing in Rayos favour when Celta defender Gustavo Cabral received his second yellow card six minutes from halftime. Forward Leo Carrilho scored for Rayo with a header in the 59th before Roberto "Tito" Triguero was left unmarked to level with his 72nd-minute header. Francisco "Piti" Medina completed the comeback with a spot kick in the 82nd after Celtas Andres Tunez pulled down Andrija Delibasic in the area. "The fact that Celta was left with 10 (men) before halftime gave us a certain advantage, but even so its not easy to score against Celta and even less so when they are winning by two goals," said Rayo coach Paco Jemez. Promoted Celta remained without a point from six away games this season. Sociedad stunned the crowd at Rosaleda Stadium by striking before the first minute of play was up, as Carlos Vela redirected Diego Ifrans low cross into the far side of the net. Javier Saviola tied it up for Malaga in the 37th when the diminutive forward sneaked in to control a corner kick before firing home. But Xavi Prieto restored Sociedads lead for good in the 59th after Malagas United States defender Oguchi Onyewu deflected a pass into his path for the forward to slot beyond helpless goalkeeper Willy Caballero. Malaga, whose squad is still waiting to be paid some of its back wages from last season, has lost three of its last five league games and is in danger of relinquishing its hold on fifth place. At the bottom end of the table, last-place Osasuna earned a much-needed second victory by winning 3-0 at Espanyol, dealing the Barcelona-based side its first loss in five rounds. League leader Barcelona visits Mallorca on Sunday before second-place Atletico Madrid hosts Getafe. Real Madrid also plays at Levante, while Valencia visits Valladolid and Sevilla plays Athletic Bilbao. Granada won 2-1 at Real Betis to open the 11th round on Friday. Ray Ban Aviators Sunglasses .

Scott Evans and Mark Steenhuis each added a pair of goals for the Canadian senior mens lacrosse champions. Lewis Ratcliff had a hat trick for Langley, while captain Matt Leveque scored twice. Lakers goalie Mike Thompson stopped 38 of Langleys 46 shots to earn player of the game honours. He also took home the Mike Kelly award as series MVP. Thompson, who retired from the National Lacrosse League earlier this year and announced he would finish his career with Peterborough, said it was a thrill to come back from a devastating knee injury to finish his career on top. "I was just happy to be able to step in when they needed me," he said. "I got on a bit of a roll and we really battled for each other." Facing elimination, Langley scored three straight goals to open the game and led 5-3 after the first period. Shayne Jackson got things started before Kyle Belton, who was making his first start in the series, connected on another goal. Garrett Billings got the third before Grant ripped an outside shot on the power play to make it 3-1. Then with the score 5-2, Grant scorred on a similar shot with 20 seconds to play in the period to pull the Lakers within a pair.dddddddddddd Peterborough, which had a 7-0 second period in Game 5 on Friday, produced a near carbon-copy performance in Game 6. Andrew Watt made a beautiful end-to-end run to get the roll started before Cory Vitarelli caught a pass in traffic on top of the crease and nestled a behind the back shot to tie the game 5-5. Evans then took over, scoring twice and setting up Steenhuis with a perfect short pass across the crease. Jordan MacIntosh won a prolonged faceoff battle with Ian Poole to set up Brad Self for the final goal of the second as Peterborough scored six times to head to the third up 9-5. The Lakers never took their foot off the gas, scoring the first two goals of the third before adding a run of three straight later in the period to ice the game. Lakers newcomer Andrew Suitor said the fans were a huge part of the win, motioning to the 3,904 in attendance. "This is as much for them as it is for all of us. I feel honoured to be part of the Laker family. And at the other end, thats a great Langley team," Suitor said. "Theyre going to be back here. They pushed us hard and we give them a ton of credit for their effort. They never gave up." ' ' '
