Just when it was in his hand to make the final jump and climb to the play-off positions, another profound disappointment. Oviedo missed a unique opportunity on Saturday to present its strongest candidacy for promotion positions. He received Real Sociedad B in his field and signed one of the weakest games of the season. Unable to get their hands on the Donostiarra subsidiary, the Blues fell 0-1 in the final stretch, Bastón missed a penalty in the last breath, and their mission of climbing to the sixth step was aborted.
It is not really a surprise to lose to one of the bottom of the category if you look at the Blues’ record in the competition against less powerful teams. Oviedo has played six games against the teams that are relegated to the RFEF First Division and has only been able to win two, both at the Carlos Tartiere.
It happened in the first round. On matchday 17, Amorebieta visited Tartiere and paid for the hazing. Oviedo was superior from the start and cornered the Basques. Viti and Borja Sánchez scored in the first half and the team controlled the game afterwards. Two weeks later, Oviedo received Alcorcón, which they dominated from the start, although the goals did not come until after the break. Brugman and Borja Bastón on two occasions put the appropriate distance in the marking and Asencio would do the honor for the potters after the nineties.
They were the only two joys against those below. Because, especially away from home, those from Ziganda have been stuck playing against a team with qualifying problems. On matchday 21 they drew goalless against a Fuenlabrada already settled in the relegation zone. In the 26th, he started in command against Amorebieta, a goal by Bastón, but Guruceta soon equalized.
The worst balance is found by Oviedo against Real Sociedad B. To the painful defeat of last Saturday is added the clash of the first round, in Anoeta, when the blues, matchday 10, tied at one point, with a goal from Bastón . With 9 of 18 points against the underdogs, the balance seems short for a play-off contender.
