Joaquín Caparrós got off to a good start at Deportivo, his side running out 3-0 winners over Serbia's Buducnost. The newly appointed coach gave a first start to new signing De Guzman in a line up which was otherwise very similar to the one used by Irureta, and within five minutes they took the lead, Xisco finishing off after the keeper failed to hold on to a long shot from Sergio. It was not until the last ten minutes though that they were able to wrap things up, Sergio getting the second from a free kick which the keeper helped into the net and Héctor heading the third a few minutes later from a Munitis free kick. Youngster Iván Carril made his debut in the second half, only the second B team player in seven years to make an appearance following Xisco's late run in the first team last season.
