Luis Carrión opted to use his bench shortly after the break, with Paulino de la Fuente and Abel Bretones coming on in place of Pomares and Borja Sánchez. Eight minutes after the substitutions, Alemão converted himself into the hero of the hour, getting on the end of a fabulous cross from Bretones to head past Luca Zidane and make the score 1-0. The goal saw Los Azules plant one foot in the playoff final, and SD Eibar were aware of it. Etxeberría made a triple change in search of an equaliser, but Real Oviedo killed the game with a Sebas Moyano goal on the counter attack in the 79th minute. The winger's goal gave the team breathing space and brought tears of joy to the Oviedistas, who saw the dream of promotion move one step closer.

 

Eibar pushed forward in the final stages in search of a goal to give the Asturians a fright, but that goal would never arrive. The final whistle blew, and Real Oviedo became a playoff finalist. The dreams remains alive and it is more real than ever, with Real Oviedo just one step, two matches, away from returning to the top flight following a 23 year absence.
