Goals from Chris Ramos and Enzo Pérez at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere gave the blues their second consecutive win and first clean sheet of the season, a key boost for a squad that entered the match in 12th place with eight points.
Luis Carrión's team started with intensity and got their reward early. In the 8th minute, Mikel Goti slipped a pass from the left flank that Chris Ramos converted with a precise finish.

Late seal
The second half was more fragmented, filled with interruptions and fouls. The sending-off of Jacobo González for two yellow cards in the 70th minute complicated the hosts' plans, but the team regrouped with character. The clincher came twelve minutes from time. Víctor Mingo won the ball high up the pitch and found Enzo Pérez, who fired home with his right foot from the centre of the box for the definitive 2-0. Mikel Goti, provider of both assists, was the standout creative force on the night.
The victory allows Real Oviedo to breathe easier in the standings, consolidating a mid-table position. With this win, the team has three wins, a draw and one loss in its last five outings, a positive run that includes a resounding 0-3 win at Valladolid.
