The football club from Asturias secured an important away victory, despite the hosts’ early lead. The match at the Mestalla stadium began with active attacks from Valencia, who opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a precise strike from Danjuma. After that, the home team continued to control possession and created dangerous chances near the opponent’s goal.
Throughout the first half, Valencia confidently maintained the initiative, using wing play and quick passes. Oviedo struggled to move out of defense, with goalkeeper Aarón Escandell saving his team several times from increasing the deficit. However, the visitors gradually leveled the game, and by the end of the half managed to organize several promising attacks.
After the break, Oviedo’s coaching staff made three substitutions at once to improve ball control and add fresh energy to midfield. Valencia, for their part, continued to look for ways to extend their lead, and in the 75th minute were awarded a chance to convert a penalty. However, Danjuma was unable to beat Escandell, who saved the shot from the spot.
This episode became the turning point of the match. Oviedo gained confidence and began to attack more boldly. In the 85th minute, Ilić capitalized on confusion after a corner and equalized the score. Just a minute later, Rondón found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the net, giving his team their first away win of the season.
As a result, Oviedo leaves Valencia with three points that could play a crucial role in the fight for top positions. For Valencia, the defeat was an unexpected blow, especially after a strong start and a missed penalty. The match at Mestalla once again showed that in Spanish football, the outcome can change at any moment.
