Real Oviedo was defeated by CD Leganés 0-1 in a match where Julián Calero's team played with one more player due to Raúl Fernández's expulsion in the 24th minute. After the draw against Granada CF, the blue team returned to the Carlos Tartiere with the goal of securing their first victory of the season, but it was not possible.
Aarón Escandell, Nacho Vidal, David Costas, Dani Calvo, Juan Cruz, Youness, Villahermosa, Reina, Pablo Sáenz, Jacobo, and Chris Ramos. That was how Real Oviedo started the match, with only one change: the inclusion of Juan Cruz for Samu Rodríguez. The game did not start in the best way, and in the 19th minute, Gharbi put the Madrid team ahead with a great goal.
The match changed drastically in the 23rd minute with the expulsion of Raúl Fernández. The local goalkeeper clearly brought down Chris Ramos, and the referee, after a VAR review, showed him the red card. Oviedo played with one more player for the remainder of the match, although clear chances did not come until the end.
Isfan, Samu Rodríguez, and Aisar entered the field in the 57th minute to try to turn the game around. Possession was entirely in Real Oviedo's favor, but the team struggled to create danger near CD Leganés' goal. It wasn't until the final stretch, when Carlos Fernández and Víctor Mingo also came on, that the Carbayón side deserved a goal. A crossbar hit by Isfan after a great header and a spectacular bicycle kick by Mingo, immediately afterward, almost leveled the score. Aisar also tried with a powerful shot from outside the box, but a brilliant save by Luca Zidane prevented it.
Calero's team tried until the end but were left without a reward, and CD Leganés took all three points from the Carlos Tartiere. The next match will be against Albacete BP at the Carlos Belmonte.
