Real Oviedo draws again and Guillermo Almada fails to achieve his first victory
Real Oviedo lost their lead secured by Ilyas Chaira. Guillermo Almada's team couldn't hold onto the result and drew 1-1
Real Oviedo remains winless, and although they found the net again and are still undefeated with Guillermo Almada on the bench, they drew at home against Real Betis (1-1), a result that also wasn't enough for the home side.
The home coach He covered the losses of Bailly and Vinas with Carmo and Fores and, in addition, opted for Hassan on the right wing at the expense of Brekalo; For his part, Pellegrini brought on Valentin Gomez, Junior Firpo, and Lo Celso for Natan, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Deossa. Oviedo, with their characteristic high press, started by winning several corners, but it was Betis who really came close to scoring when Cucho Hernandez, from a Fornals pass, shot towards the near post and only the crossbar prevented the Verdiblancos from taking the lead. A cross from Hassan on the right was narrowly missed by both Alex Fores and Reina, although Oviedo were taking too many risks in their build-up play and Betis were beginning to capitalize, with Fornals having the clearest chance of the match in a one-on-one that was saved by Aaron Escandell, the same player who had previously lost possession. Cucho Hernandez hit the crossbar from almost the halfway line after a mistake by Sibo, a shot from Lo Celso went wide, and a header from Ilyas Chaira from a corner were the next chances of a first half that went to halftime with a goalless draw.
No changes at halftime, Alvaro Ortiz blocked a dangerous shot from Ilyas Chaira, and on the next play, Antony was selfish in finishing off a counter-attack when he had a passing option; Fonseca for Sibo in Oviedo and Bellerin for Ortiz in Betis were the first substitutions of the match.
In the 65th minute, the Carlos Tartiere stadium saw a Real Oviedo goal again after three and a half months: Escandell launched a long ball, Alex Fores flicked it on, and it fell to Ilyas Chaira, who dribbled a few meters and with a low, driven shot from just outside the box made it 1-0.
Oviedo were holding their own against a Betis side that brought on Riquelme, Chimy Avila, and Ricardo Rodriguez, and it was Antony,when he first appeared in the match to put in a good cross from the right which Lo Celso headed into the net, outjumping David Carmo. While Oviedo tried with more heart than skill, Betis continued to threaten in space and Riquelme had a chance to win it from a Bellerin cross; the score remained unchanged and the final 1-1 draw keeps the Blues in the relegation zone, while the Green and Whites are not getting any closer to fifth place.
