Six-goal second half turns the game on its head
A dull first half gave way to chaos after the break at Anoeta, where the visitors raced into a 0-2 lead in the space of minutes. The opener came when Fede Viñas headed home from a corner in the 50th minute, and the same forward scored again roughly three minutes later to make it 0-2. The hosts responded: Orri Óskarsson reduced the deficit with a header in the 64th minute, and Duje Caleta-Car equalized from a corner in the 86th minute to force a late comeback.
Real Sociedad - Real Oviedo: set pieces and late drama decide the day
Set pieces defined large swaths of the match. Viñas’s early second-half header (50') and his follow-up finish shortly after set Oviedo on course, while Caleta-Car’s 86th-minute goal and a subsequent score from Óskarsson—who finished a move started by Gonçalo Guedes in the 90th minute—turned the contest in Real Sociedad’s favor. The game was pushed to its final moments when Oviedo found an equalizer in stoppage time to make it 3-3 in the 93rd minute, and a late Guedes effort struck the woodwork as Real Sociedad nearly regained the lead.
Key moments, injuries and what changed the match
The opening half contained several clear chances: Mikel Oyarzabal tested goalkeeper Aarón Escandell with a long-range effort in the 5th minute, and Ilyas Chaira drew saves and close calls for Oviedo, including a 13th-minute attempt and a 43rd-minute transition that put pressure on the defense. Early in the second half, Rino Matarazzo brought on Yangel Herrera for Beñat Turrientes to inject energy, while Álvaro Odriozola, who had come on in the 54th minute, was forced off injured in the 56th. Real’s goalkeeper Álex Remiro made several stops, including a save from Nacho Vidal on a counter, but he could not prevent the flurry of second-half goals.
The match saw two quick goals put Oviedo 0-2 up and then a dramatic turnaround for the hosts driven largely by aerial finishes: Óskarsson’s 64th-minute header began the fightback, Caleta-Car’s 86th-minute corner finish leveled it, and Óskarsson’s 90th-minute strike appeared to complete the comeback before the late equalizer leveled the score again.
Both teams finished with a point from a game that swung wildly after halftime. The match closed with the score tied 3-3 at Anoeta, and no further schedule was provided in the coverage of the fixture.
