Oviedo stunned Celta Vigo at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos, securing a dominant 3-0 victory behind a Federico Viñas double.

Coming into this match, Celta Vigo sat comfortably in sixth place, hoping to climb the table. Conversely, Oviedo arrived fighting for survival in 19th position, needing points desperately to avoid relegation.

The visitors shocked the home crowd almost immediately. Alberto Reina struck in the 4th minute, silencing the stadium early with a composed finish to put his side ahead.

Celta Vigo tried to respond quickly, dominating the ball throughout the half. However, they struggled to break down a resilient Oviedo defense that stayed organized.

Just as the first half neared its conclusion, disaster struck for the hosts. Federico Viñas doubled the lead in the 45th minute, giving his team a vital advantage before the break.

Celta Vigo managers likely demanded more urgency in the dressing room at halftime. They held 68 percent possession but lacked the cutting edge needed to overcome the deficit.

The second half began with Celta Vigo pressing hard to find a way back into the game. Their efforts were repeatedly thwarted by goalkeeper Aarón Escandell, who made six crucial saves.

Oviedo remained dangerous on the counter-attack, waiting for mistakes. Viñas struck again in the 57th minute, effectively ending any hopes of a Celta Vigo comeback.

Tempers flared slightly as the match progressed, with F. Lopez picking up a yellow card for the hosts. Oviedo managed the final stages well, absorbing pressure and keeping a clean sheet.

The final statistics reveal a strange narrative, as Celta Vigo managed 68 percent possession and nine total shots. Yet, Oviedo proved more efficient, finishing with an expected goals metric of 1.71 compared to the hosts’ 0.91.

This result leaves Oviedo fighting for their lives in the league table. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo will need to regroup quickly to maintain their position in the standings.
