Match report
Eldense defeated Oviedo 4-1 at Estadio Pepico Amat in the eighth round of the Segunda División on Thursday evening. The home side came from behind to claim three points after Oviedo had taken an early lead through Alberto Reina at the first minute. Roberto López and Fidel each scored from the penalty spot to turn the match around for the hosts.
The visitors struck first when Reina found the net just one minute in. Eldense responded through two penalty conversions, López at 56 minutes and Fidel at 68 minutes, to take control of the fixture. Oviedo pulled one back through Aingeru Olabarrieta in the 90th minute before Jorge Rastrojo added another in stoppage time, though it made little difference to the outcome.
Eldense dominated possession at 54 per cent and registered 104 attacks compared to Oviedo's 54. The home side created five big chances and shot on target nine times, while their expected goals total stood at 2.97. Oviedo managed only one big chance and shot on target four times, with an expected goals figure of 0.96. And here's the thing — such a gap in chances rarely produces a close result.
The yellow card count reflected the competitive nature of the match, with Eldense receiving two and Oviedo four. Substitutions were made throughout the second half, with Oviedo making four changes to their starting XI. Eldense brought on five players, including the penalty scorers who featured prominently in the comeback.
The result leaves Eldense in 17th place with eight points from eight games, three wins, two draws and three defeats. Oviedo remain in eighth position with 11 points from the same number of matches. The home side's form has been inconsistent recently, having lost three of their last five fixtures before this victory.
