Real Oviedo earned a new point at the Carlos Tartiere after a goalless draw against Osasuna (0-0), in a match where Luis Carrión's team did enough to deserve the victory. The Carbayón side played a solid game, dominating in several phases and creating the best chances during the 90 minutes, but a lack of accuracy prevented the three points from staying at home.
From the first minutes, Real Oviedo came out determined, pressing high and showing notable intensity. In the 2nd minute, Ilyas had the first great opportunity of the match with a close-range shot that forced Sergio Herrera to make an impressive save.
As the minutes passed, Osasuna tried to react and created danger from set pieces. Aarón Escandell made a great save on the line to deny a header from Budimir after a lateral free kick taken by Rubén García. Despite the push from the visitors, Luis Carrión's team maintained the initiative, with chances from Rondón and Ilyas that could have opened the scoring before halftime.
The second half followed the same pattern: a Real Oviedo looking to dominate, brave and focused on the opposing area. The Oviedo side pressed Osasuna, setting the pace and creating danger from the wings.
The clearest chance came after the hour mark. A precise cross from Javi López was met by Viñas, who had a near-perfect opportunity to score, but the ball went over the crossbar. Oviedo, solid at the back, barely conceded, with a key intervention from the left-back to prevent a clear shot from Budimir in the final moments.
The match also brought one of the most exciting highlights of the day with the official debut of Pablo Agudín in the First Division. The Oviedo academy player showed his personality from the first ball he touched, making a great run as soon as he entered the field. The '27' was active and very involved in the offensive plays during the final stretch.
With this draw, the second of the season, Real Oviedo reaches eight points and is just one point away from the safety zone. A point that feels like too little after what was seen at the Tartiere, but it reinforces the good feelings and the team's growth in recent matches.
