Real Oviedo dominates in third preseason match

Real Oviedo secured their first preseason win with a commanding 4-0 victory over Ponferradina in Grao. Goals from Aldasoro, Marco Esteban, Jacobo, and Eze highlighted a dominant performance where Julín Calero’s side was superior from start to finish. The team, which finished the 2025 season in 20th place with 29 points (6W-11D-21L), showed solidity and efficiency in their third preseason fixture.

What stood out in the match?

Real Oviedo displayed fluid and effective play from the outset. Villahermosa, making his debut, was instrumental in playmaking, while academy players like Aldasoro and Marco Esteban shone. The first goal came around the 20th minute, with Aldasoro finishing a rebound to open the scoring. The second was a header from Marco Esteban, who scored in the same ground where he debuted three years ago.

How was the second half?

In the second half, Real Oviedo maintained their intensity. Villahermosa provided a spectacular assist for Jacobo to score the third goal. Eze sealed the win with the fourth. Calero’s team showed great cohesion and attacking efficiency, something lacking last season when they scored only 26 goals.

What does this win mean for Real Oviedo?

This match is a positive sign for Real Oviedo, aiming to improve next season. With a 65-point gap to leaders Barcelona, the team needs reinforcement and greater solidity. The thrashing of Ponferradina suggests they are moving in the right direction.
