“Gonzalo García broke the deadlock just before half-time, drilling a right-footed shot from the centre of the box into the right corner after a neat assist from Brahim Díaz, giving Madrid a deserved lead at the interval.”
Pivotal“Substitute Jude Bellingham, on the pitch for just sixteen minutes, wrapped up the three points with a second goal that ended any remaining doubt about the outcome.”

Outstanding performance
Real Madrid•MidfielderReal Madrid were measured rather than spectacular at the Bernabéu, but they did the job efficiently against a Real Oviedo side that had little answer to Madrid's quality across the pitch. The hosts dominated possession at 65% and registered 19 shots to Oviedo's nine, with their 93% pass accuracy a reflection of how comfortably they dictated the tempo. The breakthrough came at the end of the first half when Gonzalo García converted a Brahim Díaz assist from the centre of the box, a move built on sustained Madrid pressure that had earlier seen Vinícius Júnior blocked and then waste a chance inside the six-yard box. The second goal, scored by substitute Jude Bellingham just ten minutes after coming on, put the contest firmly to bed and allowed Carlo Ancelotti's side to close out a clean sheet. For Oviedo, their five saves from goalkeeper kept the score respectable, and they matched Madrid's two big chances created, but their 14 fouls and defensive fragility at key moments ultimately cost them. This was a result that underlines Madrid's continued dominance at home while offering Oviedo few positives ahead of their survival battle in the lower reaches of the table.
