This is how Oviedo has distributed its goals since promotion: Borja Bastón and 62 more

They say that scoring is not a science, that it is an art. That everyone remembers where he was and what he was doing when the great goals were scored (Maradona’s against England, Iniesta’s that gave Spain the World Cup…). But in the end, with beauty or without beauty, with importance or without it, the sauce of football ends up adding to the statistics. Those of Oviedo show that since the blues regained their place in professional football (2015-16) up to 63 footballers dressed in blue have scored at least one goal. Interestingly, the season that has just ended leaves Borja Bastón (22 goals) in history as the last great scorer for the carbayones in a single Second season, displacing Toché, until now the “Pichichi” of reference (17 goals in 2015 -16 and another 17 in 2016-17).

Precisely in the course of Oviedo’s return to the Second Division, it was the year in which the fewest blue players scored: eleven. But there were good squires from Toché, like Susaeta (9), Borja Valle and Linares (6 each) and Koné (5). The following year, in 2016-17, there were fourteen scorers, but except for Linares (8), the rest of the goals were widely distributed. It stands out that the third blue “Pichichi” was David Costas (3), who returned to Oviedo last summer.

There were also fourteen scorers in 2017-18. Only Linares reached double digits (10). Here contributed Toché, Berjón and Carlos Hernández (six each), Aarón Íñiguez in his last good season that he is remembered (5) and Diegui who went up and down the band with free lung (4 goals). The following campaign, Joselu Moreno, one of Carso’s big bets at the time, ended up as the top blue scorer with ten goals, trying to emulate the times when he was the best scorer in the category thanks to his 23 goals in his first stage in the Lugo. To cover the deficit of not having a high-figure striker, Bárcenas and Ibra put up six each. Once again in this section, a center-back like Carlos Hernández (4) stands out, who in his first two seasons in blue scored 10 goals.

In the 2019-20 season, Oviedo found a “goal man” again. Ortuño arrived. The problem was that the streaks of the Yecla striker, who scored 14 goals, did not coincide with the best moments of the team, so many points went down the drain. It was the year of the crisis, that of the three coaches (Egea, Rozada and Ziganda), the course in which Oviedo was about to go down. In total, twelve players scored.

In the 2020-21 campaign, Blanco Leschuk’s corpulence was chosen. The Argentine arrived from Malaga, where he was on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk. He scored seven goals and was accompanied on the offensive side by Nahuel (6), Sangalli, Tejera (4) and Borja Sánchez (4). Oviedo had no trouble and signed a year shooting gray except for the victories in the derbies. He closed the year with fifteen soccer players who “wet”.

And 2021-22 arrived. Reyes opted for Borja Bastón, who had had very poor numbers for five seasons, and the man from Madrid smiled again: 22 goals, the same as Stuani, “Pichichi” of the category. Obeng (8) and Borja Sánchez (5) helped “9”. Just like a year before, there were fifteen scorers. In this way, and since the return to LaLiga, the goal has been a thing of Borja Bastón and 62 more. It remains to be seen what will happen from August 15, when the Blues open the course against Piqué’s Andorra.

Oviedo, dominator of the derbies after the reunion with Sporting in the Second Division, has the best gunners in its defenses. Of the ten goals that the carbayones achieved against the rojiblancos, half were scored by defenders: Mossa (2), Alanís, Diegui and Lucas Ahijada. The rest were the work of Toché, Ibra, Borja Sánchez, Tejera and Berrocal, this one an own goal.
