Real Oviedo salvaged a point in extremis at Anoeta in a match where the blue team managed to go 0-2 up but failed to capitalize on their advantage. Real Sociedad turned the game around, and in the last play, Eric Bailly, with a header, rescued a very bitter point for the Asturians.
The blue team faced their match against Real Sociedad with a clear objective: to secure a victory that would allow them to close the gap to the safety zone. From the start, it was a balanced duel, with two well-organized teams and few defensive concessions. During the first half, there were hardly any clear chances, although the most dangerous ones came from Ilyas Chaira, who first tried his luck with a deflected shot and later completed a great individual move without success in the final shot.
After the break, Real Oviedo stepped up. Their increased offensive daring paid off when Fede Viñas opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner, putting the blues ahead and rewarding the team's growth in the match. Just a few minutes later, the Uruguayan striker appeared again to score the second goal after taking advantage of a mistake in the clearance by goalkeeper Álex Remiro, who left the ball free to extend the visitors' lead.
The match seemed to be under control for Oviedo, but the home team's reaction came immediately. Real Sociedad reduced the deficit shortly after the second blue goal and, in the final stretch, managed to turn the score around with two consecutive goals that completely changed the course of the game.
When everything pointed to a cruel defeat, Real Oviedo found a reward for their final persistence in the dying moments. In the last minutes, Bailly appeared to head the ball into the back of the net for the definitive 3-3, salvaging a point that avoids defeat but leaves a sense of a missed opportunity.
The draw, which is the 300th for the blues in the First Division, adds to their tally but does not satisfy a Real Oviedo team that came close to securing a crucial victory and left Anoeta with the feeling of having let two points slip away in a match they had under control for many minutes.
