On a day like today, October 27, in the year 1957, Real Oviedo climbed to the top spot in the Second Division standings after defeating Real Racing Club in Santander, which had entered that matchday as the leader.

It was the seventh matchday of the 1957-58 Second Division National League Championship. Real Oviedo faced Real Racing Club de Santander at the Campos de Sport de El Sardinero.
