Real Oviedo was defeated 3-0 by Real Betis in a poor performance by the blue team, which was outplayed throughout the match.
The blue team started the match with personality, creating the first clear chance of the game with a shot from Ilyas Chaira that forced Valles to intervene. However, as the minutes passed, Real Betis began to impose their rhythm and took control of the ball and the field, constantly threatening the goal defended by Aarón.
The green-and-white team was rewarded for their persistence midway through the first half when Cucho Hernández managed to open the scoring after a well-executed play in the opponent's half. The goal reinforced Betis' dominance, as they continued to create chances and forced Oviedo to retreat and withstand the home team's attacks.
Before halftime, the match also brought controversy, with an incident involving Thiago Almada inside the box that the Carbayón team claimed as a penalty, though neither the referee nor VAR called a foul. Shortly after, Ez Abde extended Betis' lead, making it 2-0 by halftime.
The second half did not start with good news for Real Oviedo. Just a few minutes after the restart, Real Betis struck again, with another goal from Cucho Hernández that increased the home team's lead and made the match an uphill battle for the Carbayones. Before that third blow, Oviedo had found the net through Fede Viñas, but the goal was disallowed for offside.
Looking for a reaction, coach Guillermo Almada made changes in the second half, bringing on Santi Cazorla, Sibo, and Hassan. The team tried to gain more presence in the opponent's half and have better control of the ball, but the course of the match did not change significantly against a solid and well-organized Betis.
As the minutes went by, the pace of the game slowed, though it remained under the control of the green-and-white team, who managed their lead without major scares. Real Oviedo failed to find a way back into the match and ended up suffering another defeat after a lackluster performance.
