A Malata provided the setting today for the latest league fixture for Real Oviedo Vetusta. Emilio Cañedo's side were up against Racing de Ferrol, with the Asturians falling to a 2-0 defeat.
Opting for the same starting line-up that played against Coruxo last Sunday, Real Oviedo Vetusta emerged for this away match aware of the difficulty involved in playing at this particular ground. The B team took the initiative in the opening stages, with Vanderson having a clear chance just a few minutes into the encounter. Vetusta were showing good combination play, linking up between the lines to create attacks, and also generating a lot of danger down the wings. Emilio Cañedo's team also showed a lot of solidity in defence, recovering the ball after losing possession on many occasions. However, it was Racing de Ferrol who took the lead, catching the Asturian backline off-guard from a throw in. Despite this blow, the heads of the Vetusta players did not drop, and they took on the weight of the game. The hosts created a few chances, but Los Azules managed to solve the problems successfully. On the brink of halftime, Andoni Ugarte had a good chance to equalise, but his effort from a corner went just wide of the post. The teams went in for the break with the score 1-0. The hosts came out more strongly after the interval, and won a penalty five minutes later, which Joselu converted to make it 2-0. The second goal shook Real Oviedo Vetusta, who couldn't find a way to cut the deficit, no matter what they tried. The bright spot of the day was the return of Viti, who has now recovered from the injury he suffered against Atleti B.
Real Oviedo Vetusta saw their five-match unbeaten run and two consecutive win streak come to an end today. They now turn their minds to next Sunday's match against Sporting B. The clash, which forms part of Matchday 28, will kick off at 12:00 at the Carlos Tartiere.
