Deportivo La Coruna ended a six-match winless run in La Liga EA Sports with a 2-1 comeback over Osasuna on matchday 11 at Estadio Abanca-Riazor. They trailed to Ante Budimir's first-half goal, then turned the game after the break through Mario Soriano and Bil Nsongo.

Soriano levels the match

Osasuna had the first punch through Ante Budimir, who scored his eighth league goal of the season. Deportivo's response came after Luismi Cruz's set-piece delivery, with Soriano equalising in the 64th minute to pull the home side back into the contest.

The equaliser mattered because it gave Deportivo the platform they had been missing for weeks. Soriano's finish was also his second league goal of the season, and it arrived at a point where Osasuna were still holding their shape well enough to keep the crowd waiting.

Aubameyang changes the final phase

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returned after a meniscus injury and had missed the last four matches, three in the league. He was on the pitch for 21 minutes and had an immediate effect on the final phase, with his near-post effort blocked before Nsongo arrived to score in the 87th minute after Aubameyang's header was saved.

That sequence fits the way Deportivo finished the game. Sergio Herrera made five saves for Osasuna, but the late pressure kept building until Nsongo got the decisive touch. The win lifted Deportivo to 13th on 11 points, while Osasuna stayed 15th on 11 points.
