Real Oviedo returned to the Carlos Tartiere after their victory in Cádiz to face a match that marked Raúl González Blanco's debut on the blue bench. After a somber week in Oviedo due to the passing of sub-inspector Juan José Rodríguez 'Jota' and his dog Deny, the Oviedo municipal stadium paid tribute to both, observing a respectful minute of silence in their honor before the start of the match. 

Aarón Escandell, David Jiménez, Samu Rodríguez, David Costas, Carlos Domínguez, Youness, Goti, Reina, Chaira, Estanis, and Isfan. This was Raúl's first starting eleven as coach of Real Oviedo. 

Girona tried to control the game, and most of the ball possession was in favor of the Catalans. However, the Carbayón side managed to hold their ground and display defensive solidity. David Jiménez, with a shot that went wide, and later Estanis, with a strike from outside the box, created the main threats for Real Oviedo in the first half. 

After the restart, Real Oviedo capitalized on their first clear chance, and Reina scored the opener. A great cross from Ilyas and a perfect finish by Alberto Reina beat Girona's goalkeeper to make it 1-0. The blue team's lead did not last long, as Girona turned the score around in just over 15 minutes. Abel Ruiz scored first, followed by Pyshchur five minutes later, giving Girona FC the lead. 

With the unfavorable result, Raúl made changes, bringing on Jacobo and Pablo Sáenz in place of Reina and Estanis. Oviedo pushed for an equalizer and tried to level the match with the subsequent introduction of Villahermosa, Morales, and Mingo. The Catalans managed to hold onto their lead and ultimately took all three points from the Carlos Tartiere.
