Real Oviedo emerged for the match at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López with enforced changes due to suspensions and a change in formation by Sergio Egea. The home crowd pushed its side on in their battle for survival.
Tenerife dominated the first half without creating too many chances. The best opportunity for the Asturians came from a counterattack, and ended with Johannesson through one-on-one with Dani H., but the keeper diverted it out for a corner. Alanís headed straight at the keeper from the corner. Five minutes before the break, the hosts won a penalty and Suso converted from twelve yards to give Tenerife the lead.
Egea altered his formation in the second half, taking off Tejera and bringing Ibra on up front. Yoel Bárcenas was replaced by Omar Ramos shortly afterwards. Real Oviedo improved both in possession and in attacking presence, but Tenerife’s second goal made it even more of an uphill task. ‘Los Carbayones’ continued to attack, and were denied a penalty for a foul on Johannesson, before a handball in the area allowed Joselu to cut the lead from the spot, making the score 2-1. Real Oviedo went in search of the equaliser, with a fine Omar volley grazing the post. A free kick in the final stages saw Mossa head back across goal from the back post, but Ibra headed into the keeper’s hands.
This defeat moves the playoffs further away from the side’s reaches. The team will train tomorrow upon their arrival at the Tartiere.
