BARCELONA, Spain -- Malaga held on to beat Athletic Bilbao 1-0 to kick off the Spanish league on Saturday after new coach Javi Gracias winning debut was almost spoiled by two of his players earning red cards in a wild finale.

Gracias first victory with Malaga was followed by positive starts for Valencia manager Nuno Espirito Santo, Espanyols former player-turned-manager Sergio Gonzalez and Joaquin Caparros at Granada. A 10-man Valencia salvaged a 1-1 draw at Sevilla with a late goal, while Sergio Garcia scored in stoppage time as a 10-man Espanyol drew 1-1 at Almeria. Granada managed to come from behind to beat visiting Deportivo La Coruna 2-1. Malaga scored in the 34th minute when Luis Alberto converted the rebound from his own penalty after goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz blocked his spot kick. The season opener was far from spectacular, but Malagas balanced defence did well to neutralize Bilbaos talented set of attacking players. "We werent brilliant, just efficient," said Gracia, who took over Malaga after his Osasuna was relegated last season. "We didnt have possession of the ball, it was theirs. But I think that through 96 minutes we played defence well. We played the last minutes in disadvantage and we kept fighting." Roque Santa Cruz earned the penalty to set up Albertos winner by poaching Carlos Gurpeguis backpass and drawing a foul from Iraizoz in the area. Malaga limited Bilbao to Mikel Ricos header by the far post in the 65th and Guillermo Fernandezs header into the arms of goalie Carlos Kameni in the 87th. That was until tempers flared near the end, when Malaga lost two players with direct red cards and gave Bilbao its best chance of the match. Sergio "Duda" Barbosa was first sent off for shoving Bilbaos Iker Muniain to the turf in the 88th, and Vitorino Antunes compounded that error by earning his exit with a dangerous tackle to cut down Fernandez two minutes into stoppage time. Iraizoz came forward in the final minute and thought he had grabbed an unlikely equalizer when he headed into the net, but the referee disallowed the goal because a line judge apparently ruled a Bilbao player offside on the free kick. Even Gracia praised Iraizoz and questioned the referees decision to annul the keepers goal. "I saw a great goal by Gorka," said Gracia. "I saw the line judge lift his flag, but I dont know why." Bilbao must quickly regroup from its stumble. The Basque club hosts Napoli on Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League playoff after they drew 1-1 in their first meeting. In Seville, Valencias Pablo Piatti went close in the eighth with a shot that bounced off both posts, but forward Aleix Vidal put Sevilla ahead in the final minute of the first half following Victor "Vitolo" Machins precise long pass to spring Carlos Bacca on the break. Sevilla lost goalkeeper Antonio "Beto" Bastos to a left thigh injury in the first half. He was replaced by signing Mariano Barbosa. Valencia played a man down from the 66th after Rodrigo de Paul received a direct red card for elbowing Vidal in the face, ending the Argentines European debut just one minute after he had gone on as a substitute. Sevilla, however, failed to take advantage of the sending off, and Valencia substitute Lucas Urban chested a deflected shot over the goal line in the 88th to secure a point. Espanyol appeared to be finished after defender Aritz Arbilla got his second booking in the 33rd minute and Almerias Fernando Soriano fired the ball in off the upright in the 52nd. But Garcia controlled a long pass with his chest before unleashing a low shot that grazed a defender and squirmed inside the post four minutes into injury time. Granada rallied to ruin Deportivo La Corunas return to the top flight on a night when neither goalkeeper had a good day. Deportivo struck first in the 20th when Granada goalie Stole Dimitrievski let Ivan Cavaleiros shot slip by. Granada forward Ruben Rochina levelled with a long strike in the 55th before defender Jean-Sylvain Babin completed the comeback in the 77th when he flicked in a free kick while keeper German Lux made no effort to reach either the cross or his header.

Showing more spark after not taking enough challenging shots on goal in their 1-0 loss Friday night, the Bruins had 18 shots in the first period after managing just 25 in the entire opener. Luke Glendening cut Bostons lead to 2-1 at 13:20 of the second period before Milan Lucic scored late in the second and Zdeno Chara added a power-play goal early in the third.

"I only want to go through this one more time," Crosby said Friday. The 24-year-old captain hasnt played since the symptoms resurfaced following a loss to Boston on Dec. 5. Doctors allowed him to return to full practice on Tuesday and while Crosby is pleased with the way his body is responding he refuses to put on his return.CALGARY -- After missing a 40-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, Tyler Crapigna regained his composure to lead the Calgary Stampeders to a 23-20 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The rookie kicker booted a pair of 42-yard field goals, the second with no time remaining on the clock, to lead the Stampeders to a thrilling CFL pre-season victory. "Ive been in some of these situations before, playing in the Vanier Cup a couple years ago, but I was happy just to get another chance to show what I can do out here," said Crapigna, who kicked a 20-yard field goal in double overtime to lift the McMaster Marauders to a 41-38 win over the Laval Rouge et Or to win the 2011 Vanier Cup. "You definitely dont want to end on that missed field goal for sure. I was a little nervous, but I just kind of decided to take it slow and a lot of the guys were helping me." Winnipeg rallied from a pair of early 14-point deficits to take a 20-17 lead over Calgary before the Stampeders rallied for the victory in front of an announced crowd of 27,103 fans at McMahon Stadium. Playing their second game in six days, the Bombers also lost their pre-season opener at home to the Toronto Argonauts on Monday. "This is worse, absolutely," said Winnipeg coach Mike OShea. "We had a chance to win it. We made enough mistakes that it didnt allow us to win." Drew Tate and Bo Levi Mitchell split time at quarterback for Calgary in the first half. Tate completed 2-of-5 passes and ran for a one-yard touchdown, while Mitchell went 8-for-11 for 76 yards and also engineered a lengthy scoring drive. Bryant Moriz and Rusty Smith also saw time under centre in the second half for the Stampeders. Smith tossed a key 26-yard completion to Damon McDaniel on the final drive of the game to help set up Crapignas game-winning field goal. "Thats the bottom line to get this W," said Damon McDaniel, whos trying to earn a spot on the Stampeders at wide receiver to play alongside his older brother Marquay. "Its all about this win. Whatever I can do to help this team win, Ill do it. The game speed is a lot different from practice, so its something that I had to get used to. I just wanted to go out there and play fast and have fun." Starting Winnipeg quarterback Drew Willy completed 14-of-23 passes for 172 yards, but couldnt find the end zone. Instead, the Bombers had to settle for three field goals and one single with Willy leading the offence. Rookie quarterback Brian Brohm took oveer from Willy in the third quarter and engineered an 11-play, 77-yard drive that culminated with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Kelly. Christian Wilkins Dolphins Jersey. Brett Maher and Lirim Hajrullahu both kicked a pair of field goals for the Bombers, while punter Mike Renaud kicked a 59-yard single. Former Saskatchewan Roughrider Jock Sanders gave Calgary great field position with a 49-yard return of the opening kickoff. Just four plays later, Tate plunged into the end zone for a one-yard touchdown to cap off a four-play, 52-yard scoring drive. With Mitchell in at quarterback, the Stampeders struck again at 14:35 of the opening quarter when Sanders scampered for an 18-yard touchdown. Mitchell completed four-of-five passes for 41 yards before Sanders completed the 59-yard drive with his TD run. The Bombers finally got on the board at 3:22 of the second quarter when Maher connected on a field goal from 33 yards out. After Rene Paredes answered back with a 41-yard field goal for Calgary, Winnipeg rounded out the scoring in the first half with Renauds punt single followed by a 42-yard field goal by Hajrullahu. Winnipeg started off the second half with consecutive 77-yard scoring drives as Hajrullahu booted a 14-yard field before Kelly hauled in a 29-yard touchdown pass from Brohm. "I love the way that we came out at the start of the second half," OShea said. "They need to look at it and be pleased with that effort and correct the mistakes that were made. You cant pat yourselves on the back for too long. Youve got to appreciate that we did some good things in the second half, but we still didnt do enough to win." The Bombers then went up 20-17 at 7:35 of the fourth quarter when Maher kicked a 26-yard field goal to cap off a 12-play, 74-yard scoring drive. With 1:34 left in regulation, Crapigna kicked a 42-yard field goal to pull the Stampeders into a 20-20 tie before the rookie duplicated the feat as time ran out on the game.
