Real Oviedo Reach LaLiga Promotion Play-off Final!
Real Oviedo have clinched a spot in the LaLiga promotion play-off final after a nail-biting victory against Almería. The Carbayones secured their place thanks to a stunning free-kick goal from Santi Cazorla, sending the Tartiere into raptures.
Cazorla's Heroics Seal the Deal
At 40 years old, Santi Cazorla proved to be the hero of the night. Just moments after entering the pitch, he drew a foul and then converted it into a breathtaking goal, cancelling out Melero's penalty for Almería. Cazorla's moment of brilliance revitalized Oviedo, who had faced intense pressure from Almería in the first half.
