Viñas brace fires Real Oviedo past Celta in emphatic away win
Real Oviedo produced a statement away performance in the Primera Division, sweeping aside RC Celta de Vigo 3–0 on Matchday 31 thanks to an early strike from Alberto Reina and a brace by Federico Viñas.
The visitors made a perfect start, taking the lead in just the 4th minute. Alberto Reina struck the opener for Real Oviedo to put Celta immediately on the back foot, setting the tone for a dominant display from the Asturian side.
On the stroke of half-time, Oviedo doubled their advantage. Federico Viñas finished off a move in the 45th minute, converting after good work from provider Ilyas Chaira to make it 2–0 and send the visitors into the break firmly in control.
Celta coach responded at half-time with a double change, introducing Ilaix Moriba and club icon Iago Aspas in place of Matías Vecino and Andrés Antañón. A triple substitution followed on the hour mark as Borja Iglesias, Ferran Jutglà and Óscar Mingueza all entered the fray, but the home side still struggled to find a way back.
By then, Oviedo had already stretched their lead. Viñas struck again in the 57th minute, this time finishing from a pass by Thiago Fernandez to make it 3–0 and effectively settle the contest.
Celta’s frustration was underlined by a yellow card for Fer López in the 56th minute, while Oviedo’s Nicolas Fonseca and substitute Rahim Alhassane were also booked later in the half. The visitors managed the closing stages professionally, with further substitutions including Haissem Hassan, Santiago Colombatto, David Costas, Alhassane and Thiago Borbas helping to see out a convincing victory.
