Although Real Madrid and Real Oviedo have both definitely closed the season in second place and bottom of the table, the confrontation at the Bernabeu still receives a lot of attention.
For the home team players, this is also seen as an opportunity to score points in the context that Jose Mourinho is said to be about to return to lead the Royal Spanish team.
Real Madrid entered the game proactively and almost opened the score in the first minutes. Gonzalo Garcia escaped close to the touchline and then crossed favorably for Franco Mastantuono to finish close range, but goalkeeper Aaron Escandell reacted excellently to save Oviedo.
Brahim Diaz and Vinicius continued to create many dangerous situations towards the away team's goal. However, Oviedo was the team that missed the most delicious opportunity at the end of the first half when Nacho Vidal shot over the bar from close range.
However, the turning point still came before halftime. In the 44th minute, Brahim Diaz stole the ball right in Oviedo's half before assisting Gonzalo Garcia to finish accurately, scoring his fifth goal in La Liga this season.
After the break, the attention in the stands was somewhat directed towards veteran Santi Cazorla on Oviedo's side. The away team also had a chance to find an equalizer, but Alberto Reina missed a shot at the far post before Nacho Vidal continued to miss another unfortunate one-on-one situation.
In the 69th minute, Kylian Mbappe was brought on from the bench after injury. The French striker received no shortage of whistles from home fans every time he touched the ball, but still played very hard during his time on the field.
However, the person who closed the victory for Real Madrid was Jude Bellingham. In the 79th minute, the English midfielder skillfully handled the situation in front of the penalty area and then unleashed a dangerous shot to increase the score to 2-0.
This victory helps Real Madrid somewhat regain their spirit after the 0-2 defeat to Barcelona last weekend, and extend their unbeaten streak at the Bernabeu to 5.
