Elche 1–0 Real Oviedo: Da Silva’s Early Finish Extends Unbeaten Start

An early André Da Silva strike decided a controlled home display against an Oviedo side reshaped by absences.

Overview

  • Elche beat Real Oviedo 1-0 at Martínez Valero on September 21 to remain undefeated in the early LaLiga EA Sports campaign.
  • The winner came in the 8th minute when a Valera cross deflected off goalkeeper Aarón and fell for André Da Silva to tap in.
  • Live coverage described Elche’s early dominance, with Oviedo struggling to respond after conceding.
  • Oviedo traveled without injured defender David Costas and suspended forward Fede Viñas, prompting lineup changes and pre-match debate over using three central defenders.
  • The result keeps Elche near the top of the table, while Oviedo stay on three points in 16th place and continue to seek their first away point; Miguel Sesma refereed with VAR by Carlos Del Cerro after a pre-match tribute to Pelayo Novo.
