Real Oviedo had been on a 12-game undefeated run under the guidance of Serbian coach Veljko Paunović, but CD Mirandés put a stop to this streak in Miranda de Ebro. This victory marked an important step towards CD Mirandés' potential first-ever LALIGA EA SPORTS appearance.
The home team started strongly and took the lead just three minutes into the first half through Alberto Reina's header from Iker Benito's cross. This was the eighth time that CD Mirandés have taken the lead in their last nine games, with seven of those games resulting in a win for the team.
Real Oviedo fought back after the early goal but struggled to break down CD Mirandés' five-man back line before the break. The visitors had more possession in the opening stages of the second half, but CD Mirandés bounced back with a strong 10-minute stretch where they pushed to double their lead.
Real Oviedo regained control in the closing stages of the match, pinning CD Mirandés back to their box and unleashing waves of attacks. However, CD Mirandés' goalkeeper, Raúl Fernández, made a crucial save to deny Real Oviedo's Santiago Colombatto from the penalty spot. This save proved to be a turning point in the match, as it allowed CD Mirandés to maintain their lead.
Coach Alessio Lisci praised Fernández for his big penalty save, highlighting the hard work that went into preparing for the penalty taker. Fernández himself credited his coaching staff, the fans, and his own training for the save. This was the first clean sheet kept by a goalkeeper in the promotion playoffs, and Fernández was the hero who made it possible.
