Real Oviedo vs Getafe

OVIEDO, Spain (Interstat) — Real Oviedo and Getafe played to a scoreless draw Sunday at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere in a La Liga opener that saw two red cards and four yellow cards but no goals.

The match, played May 10, 2026, marked the start of the season for both clubs. Getafe’s record in league play stands at zero wins, zero losses and one draw, as does Real Oviedo’s. Across all competitions, each team holds the same mark of zero wins, zero losses and one draw.

The first half was a cautious affair, with neither side able to generate a clear scoring chance. The game’s first significant moment came in the 14th minute when Real Oviedo forward Federico Viñas was shown a yellow card for a late challenge. Viñas was later credited with a key performance, recording a statline of one assist – though no teammate converted the opportunity into a goal.

The match turned more volatile in the second half. In the 54th minute, Getafe’s Javi López received a straight red card, reducing the visitors to 10 men. The decision came after a tackle that the referee deemed reckless. Real Oviedo pressed for an advantage, but Getafe’s defense held firm.

In the 69th minute, Getafe substitute Abdel Abqar was booked. Abqar also recorded a key performance with a statline of one assist, again without a goal resulting from the play. The home side’s David Costas received a yellow card in the 73rd minute for a tactical foul as Getafe attempted to counter.

The game’s second red card arrived in the 78th minute. Getafe’s Kwasi Sibo was sent off for a second bookable offense, leaving the visitors with nine men for the final 12 minutes plus stoppage time. Real Oviedo pushed forward in search of a winner but could not break down a desperate defense.

The final yellow card came deep into added time, with Getafe’s Alejandro Sancris booked in the 92nd minute for time-wasting. The match ended 0-0, the only statistical blemishes on the scoresheet being the cards. Real Oviedo finished with one yellow and no reds; Getafe had three yellows and two reds.

The draw was a frustrating outcome for the home side, which had been favored heavily by pre-match projections. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Real Oviedo 1, Getafe 1, while Interstat’s ELO system gave Real Oviedo a 67.10 percent probability to win. The result leaves both teams searching for their first victory of the campaign, with Getafe especially hurt by the two red cards that will likely result in suspensions. Real Oviedo’s attack lacked sharpness, and despite the man advantage for more than a half-hour, the team could not manufacture a goal. The season continues next week with both clubs seeking better fortunes.
