In a fiercely contested match, Alavés and Real Oviedo settled for a 1-1 draw at the El Mendi stadium on Sunday.

The match between Alavés and Real Oviedo ended in a stalemate with a scoreline of 1-1 during the 18th round of the season.

Alavés found themselves trailing when Federico Viñas scored in the 55th minute. However, Lucas Boyé equalized for the home side just 12 minutes later, bringing the match back to level terms.

Both teams had opportunities to secure the win, but were denied by the woodwork; Pablo Ibáñez for Alavés and David Costas for Real Oviedo both came close to scoring.

Lucas Boyé was undoubtedly the standout player, netting the equalizer, firing three shots on target, and completing seven successful passes.

Haissem Hassan was another key player for Real Oviedo, hitting the target twice and making eleven passes that found their mark.

Early in the first half, Viñas showcased his skills with an impressive nutmeg on Alavés defender Jonny Otto.

Eduardo Coudet, the coach of Alavés, opted for a 4-5-1 formation, placing Antonio Sivera in goal; Jonny Otto, Nahuel Tenaglia, Jon Pacheco, and Youssef Enriquez in defense; while Antonio Blanco, Calebe Goncalves, Pablo Ibáñez, Denis Suárez, and Carles Aleñá handled midfield duties, leaving Toni Martínez as the lone striker.

On the other hand, Guillermo Almada’s Real Oviedo aligned similarly in a 4-5-1 setup, with Aarón Escandell as the goalkeeper, supported by Lucas Ahijado, Eric Bailly, David Costas, and Rahim Alhassane in defense; Kwasi Sibo, Santiago Colombatto, Josip Brekalo, Alberto Reina, and Ilyas Chaira forming the midfield, while Federico Viñas led the attack.

The match was officiated by Jesús Gil Manzano.
