Outstanding performance
Real Oviedo•DefenderReal Oviedo made the most of their limited opportunities, scoring with their very first meaningful chance inside three minutes through Mikel Goti and never relinquishing control of the scoreboard. Eibar dominated the underlying numbers, 58% possession, 425 passes at 89% accuracy, and 75 dangerous attacks to Oviedo's 44, but wastefulness in the final third and a sharp Oviedo side proved costly. Carlos Dominguez was the difference, bagging a brace either side of a lively second half that saw Eibar claw one back through substitute Ivan Gil. Oviedo's result lifts spirits in a season defined by their lowly zone 12 standing, while Eibar, despite their territorial dominance, will be frustrated at squandering clear statistical superiority against a side with far less prestige on paper.

League leaders SD Eibar arrive at the Carlos Tartiere on a club-record seven-match winning streak, while hosts Real Oviedo look to bounce back from a chastening 4-1 defeat at Eldense. With Eibar's automatic promotion push in full flow and Oviedo stuck in mid-table, this is a classic form-versus-desperation clash.
