Celta Vigo struggled to cope with Oviedo's compact defensive shape and midfield control. The home side's attempts to break down their opponents' low block were thwarted, as they failed to create high-quality chances despite enjoying the lion's share of possession. Celta Vigo's defensive vulnerabilities were also exposed, with Oviedo carving out a multitude of shooting opportunities inside the box.
Vinas' second goal in the 57th minute all but sealed the result, as the Oviedo striker continued his excellent form.
