Real Oviedo vs Elche CF

Elche claimed a vital away win at Carlos Tartiere, edging past Real Oviedo 1-2 in a game settled inside the first quarter-hour. The standout moment came early: Pedro Bigas thundered a long-range effort into the top corner after just six minutes, and the visitors never looked back. Gonzalo Villar doubled Elche's lead in the 16th minute, finishing coolly from Álvaro Rodríguez's pass inside the area. Real Oviedo pushed back hard in the second half, and Ilyas Chaira gave the home side hope with a counter-attack finish in the 76th minute — a goal confirmed only after a VAR review. A red card for G. Valera deep in stoppage time added a sour final note to an already difficult afternoon. The defeat leaves Real Oviedo rooted to the foot of LaLiga with 28 points and facing an increasingly desperate fight against relegation. Elche, meanwhile, climb to 13th on 38 points and take a significant step towards securing their top-flight status.
