The La Liga match between Real Oviedo and FC Barcelona on September 25, 2025, was an eventful game. Hosted at the Carlos Tartiere Stadium in Oviedo, the match saw the away team come back from behind to win 3 to 1. With convincing displays by Eric Garcia and Ronald Araujo and Robert Lewandowski, the game was a show of the level of strength and depth.

First Half: Oviedo Stuns Barcelona with Early Lead

Real Oviedo stunned spectators and analysts alike by going ahead in the 33rd minute. Alberto Reina Campos registered an exquisite long range shot after Barcelona’s goalkeeper Joan Garcia made a misjudged clearance. Oviedo held firm for the rest of the first half. They brilliantly suppressed Barcelona’s offensive attempts and carried a 1 to 0 lead into halftime.

Second Half Turnaround: Barcelona Takes Control

Barcelona dominated the ball in the second half. Eric Garcia equalized in the 56th minute with a close range finish following a box scramble. Just 14 minutes later, Robert Lewandowski headed a dominant goal to put his team ahead. Ronald Araujo sealed the win in the 88th minute with a header off a corner kick.

Possession and Stats: Barcelona Dominates the Ball

Barcelona played 79 percent possession in the match, with Oviedo playing 21 percent. They managed to take 10 shots on target from 22 attempts, whereas Oviedo only took 3 on target from 7 attempts. The Blaugranas recovered from the early deficit with their dangerous changes and tactical changes in the second half.

Rashford Returns and Adds Firepower

Marcus Rashford came back to the starting team from the last match where he had sat on the bench because of a minor disciplinary problem. He tried to best Aarón Escandell, Oviedo’s goalkeeper, several times and provided speed on the left wing. He stretched Oviedo’s defense and provided space to Lewandowski and Torres with his presence.

Oviedo’s Struggle and Crowd Support

Oviedo, though, showed guts and tenacity. The almost 30,000 home supporters created a noisy atmosphere and cheered every move. Oviedo’s back line, led by Eric Bailly and David Carmo, maintained things tight most of the game before the visitors’ attack was too much to handle.

Final Score and League Impact

With this win, the Catalans took their win/draw record to 5 wins and 1 draw, still within striking distance of league leaders Real Madrid. Oviedo, on the other hand, lost their fifth match of the season and are still in the bottom half of the table.
