MADRID (AP):

It took a stoppage-time goal for Valladolid to pick up their first Spanish league victory of the season yesterday.

Shon Weissman scored three minutes into added time to give Valladolid a 1-0 home win over Almeria in a match between promoted clubs.

Valladolid was coming off a 4-0 loss at Barcelona for their second defeat in three matches. Their only point had come at winless Sevilla in the second round.

Almeria beat Sevilla last weekend after opening with a loss to Real Madrid at home and a draw at Elche.

Valladolid, owned by Brazil great Ronaldo, is back in the first division after a one-year absence, while the Saudi-owned Almeria had been in the second tier for seven seasons.

Almeria next hosts Osasuna, while Valladolid is at Girona.

Defending champion Real Madrid lead the league after four rounds. They are the only outfit with a perfect start.
