Real Oviedo claimed a 1-0 victory at Albacete in LaLiga 2, with Pablo Sáenz's goal just before half-time settling the contest. The visitors were second best in possession but far more clinical, putting five shots on target compared to Albacete's two.
Sáenz scored in the 42nd minute, converting from Alexandru Isfan's assist to put Oviedo ahead. Albacete, who had 63% of the ball and created one big chance, could not find an equaliser, and the match grew scrappy with six yellow cards across the two sides.
Pablo Sáenz was the standout player, his strike proving the difference. Oviedo had just 37% possession but matched Albacete's nine total shots and were more accurate, while Albacete's sole big chance was missed.
