Real Valladolid ended the contest without mustering a single shot on target. Julián Calero's Real Oviedo are proving themselves in the second tier as an awkward, well-drilled unit capable of punishing opponents with minimal fuss. Set-pieces—ever decisive in this division—proved the hosts' undoing as Carlos Domínguez and Dani Calvo both capitalised. In the 56th minute, Pablo Sáenz added a third to put the result beyond doubt with more than half an hour remaining. It leaves a dire situation for Fran Escribá, who has managed just one win from five matches.

Real Valladolid: Far too timid on home turf. Pucela struggled to fashion clear-cut chances and grew increasingly frustrated against an unhurried, impeccably organised opponent. Oviedo's goals sapped all spirit from the home support on a sweltering afternoon in Valladolid. Tellingly, they failed to get the best out of Luis Chacón, a player upon whom they appear heavily reliant in these opening fixtures.

Real Oviedo: Calero has instilled a crystal-clear philosophy that flourishes in games like this. Oviedo wrapped up the points without Aarón Escandell having to make a single save—always a reassuring metric. Clinical set-piece execution provided the platform, showcasing just how tough it will be to breach this resolute backline. Meanwhile, the red-hot Pablo Sáenz continued his fine streak by finding the net once again.
