Guijuelo 1 Real Oviedo 5

Oviedo trounce Guijuelo in top of the table clash

Superb away victory

Real Oviedo produced a five star performance to sweep aside Guijuelo at the Estadio Municapal de Guijuelo.

It wouldn’t be a Sergio Egea team sheet without a few changes and Senor Egea didn’t let us down. Nacho came back into the side at the expense of Diugui and Dioni was handed a debut after his arrival from Leganes last week replacing the rested Susaeta. Charlie Dean once again had to make do with a place on the bench.

This game was billed as one of the most difficult Oviedo has yet to play as we begin a run of particularly difficult away games. Los Carbayones arrived in good form with seven wins and two draws from their last seven league games.

Guijuelo meanwhile came into this game on the back of three straight defeats as their play off hopes begin to stutter.

Real Oviedo took the lead on 24 minutes and it was that man Linares who was back on the score sheet tapping in from close range after four games without a goal.  Five minutes later and Oviedo doubled their lead and this time Linares was the provider pulling the ball back for Borja Valle to side foot confidently into the top corner. As if that wasn’t good enough, just three minutes later and Oviedo made it 3-0. Linares was clumsily challenged in the box giving the referee no option but to award a penalty. Linares picked himself up and sent the keeper the wrong way from the spot. That was 3 goals in an eight minute spell.

The second half produced another goal blitz with 3 goals in ten minutes. Oviedo’s fourth goal arrived with 15 minutes left on the clock. Substitute Sergio Garcia fizzed a low cross into the box and there was new man Dioni to mark his debut with a well taken finish from 12 yards. Remarkably Oviedo made it 5-0 three minutes later and again it was Dioni making it a dream debut with his second strike. A low finish into the corner after beating his man. Guijuelo grabbed a consolution goal through Nierga on 85 minutes but this wasn’t to deter from what has been a great day at the office for Real Oviedo. To win 5-1 away from home in any league is incredible but to do it against one of your promotion rivals is unbelievable. Our next away game is against another of our rivals in UD Logrones however next week we are back in action at the Carlos Tartiere when Valladolid B are the visitors where we will be looking to avenge our 4-3 defeat of earlier in the season.
