The final match of 2021 and first of the second half of the season for Real Oviedo saw them face SD Ponferradina today at the Carlos Tartiere. The team from the capital of Asturias ended the encounter with a 2-0 victory.
Los Azules went into today's match with the aim of picking up three points, and with a team featuring a number of changes. The biggest news was the selection of Javi Moreno and Javi Cueto, who stepped up from the B team to cover for the players missing through Covid-19.
Femenías; Javi Moreno, Dani Calvo, Bolaño, Pierre; Jirka, Jimmy, Luismi, Borja Sánchez; Viti and Javi Cueto made up the starting eleven for today's encounter. The first half began with the early dismissal of Edu Espiau following a VAR check, which showed him to have fouled Jimmy. Los Azules were on top during the opening forty-five minutes, with the Asturians well-organised defensively and dominating possession as they looked to threaten the visitors. The best chance of the first half saw Jirka volley just wide of the upright.
Sangalli, Obeng and Pombo came on at the interval and Real Oviedo dominated the second half from start to finish, enjoying some very good spells. A fine backheel from Obeng sent Borja Sánchez through on goal, where he opened the scoring with a sublime chip. After the taking the lead Ziganda's side kept pushing in search of a second goal, which would eventually arrive from the penalty spot. Pombo converted the spot kick to make the score 2-0. Ponferradina went down to nine men after one of their players showed his displeasure with the referee. Sangalli had another good opportunity to extend the lead still further, before Costas and Joni Montiel came on in the final changes.
Real Oviedo brought 2021 to an end with a team victory, putting in a very good performance and moving into the playoff places. The team from the capital of Asturias will get 2022 underway when they face SD Eibar. The match will kick off at 21:00 on Monday 10th January at the Carlos Tartiere.
