Primera Liga reports

Brief reports of Primera Liga soccer matches played on Saturday:

DEPORTIVO CORUNA 2 VALENCIA 1

Deportivo broke the last remaining unbeaten record in the Primera Liga, and moved to the top of the table in the process, thanks to a sparkling performance.

Juan Carlos Valeron hooked in Depor's opener from close range after 14 minutes -- the first goal Valencia had conceded in the league since their opening-day 1-1 draw against Valladolid.

Valencia hit back with a Mista strike after 74 minutes, the former Real Madrid B forward converting a David Albelda cross, but Diego Tristan crashed in a free kick five minutes later to give Deportivo the points.

MALAGA 2 REAL ZARAGOZA 1

Malaga dominated the game but had to survive a late fightback from Zaragoza to claim their third win of the season.

A near-post header from Litos in the 28th minute and a Salva Ballesta penalty in the final minute of the first half gave the home side a comfortable lead going into the break.

Zaragoza hardly created a chance in the second period before Goran Drulic reduced the arrears with two minutes left of normal time.

REAL MADRID 3 RACING SANTANDER 1

Real were second best to Racing for most of the game but clinched a home win thanks to a magnificent Zinedine Zidane volley and two late goals from Raul.

Israeli striker Yossi Benayoun gave Racing a deserved lead in the 16th minute, firing in on the turn after Fernando Moran had created the opening.

Racing were in control of the game but failed to take their chances and paid the price in the 27th minute when Zidane smacked in a Ronaldo cross from the edge of the area.

Racing continued to play the better football but they were hit twice on the break in the last 12 minutes by Raul.
