Jorge Galan came off the bench to fire Osasuna to their first victory of the season at nine-man Real Valladolid.
The win lifted Jose Antonio Camacho's side out of the Primera Division relegation zone.
Walter Pandiani put the Pamplona outfit ahead after 25 minutes and it all looked to be going the visitors' way when Luis Prieto saw red four minutes before the interval at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla.
Valladolid substitute Diego Costa got the hosts back on level terms three minutes after the restart but then Galan, with virtually his first touch, bagged the winner 17 minutes from time.
Cesar Arzo completed a disappointing evening for Valladolid eight minutes from time when he too was given his marching orders for a foul on Galan.
After a scrappy opening during which neither side showed any creativity of note, Haris Medunjanin produced the first shot for Valladolid in the 24th minute but the 25-yard effort did not get far before being blocked by Josetxo.
Barely 60 seconds later, the deadlock was broken at the other end.
Pandiani tried his luck from distance and caught Jacobo by surprise to give his side the lead.
Medunjanin looked to level matters six minutes before the break with a left-footed blast from 30 yards, but found Ricardo in less generous mood than his opposite number.
The hosts suffered a setback shortly after that when Prieto was shown a straight red card for a professional foul on Pandiani.
Osasuna had half a chance to make their extra man count as early as first-half stoppage time, when Alvaro Rubio brought down Pandiani just outside the area, but Javad Nekounam struck the free-kick over the crossbar.
Knowing he needed to switch things around to stop the game sliding away from his team, Valladolid coach Jose Luis Mendilibar made two changes at the break. He brought on Diego Costa and Sisi in place of Manucho and Nauzet.
And within three minutes, Mendilibar reaped the rewards for his changes as Diego Costa lashed high into the centre of Ricardo's net from close range to stun the visitors.
Medunjanin let fly from just outside the area midway through the second half in a bid to complete the turnaround for the 10 men, but his effort was too high to trouble Ricardo.
Osasuna coach Camacho made his first personnel change in the 72nd minute by replacing Carlos Aranda with Galan.
And, much like Mendilibar earlier, the visiting tactician's switch paid immediate dividends as Galan fired low into the centre of Jacobo's net from close range within a minute of his introduction.
Valladolid struggled to find a way back into the game and their cause was not helped eight minutes from the end when they were reduced to nine men following a clumsy foul by Arzo on the lively Galan.
