Borja Bastón took two minutes to demonstrate that there are things that, once learned, are not forgotten. Like riding a bike. How to eliminate rival goalkeepers. It took two minutes for the nine to erase any ghost of a lack of goal in Oviedo. He accommodated the body, fixed the goalkeeper and beat the goal. Like so many times he has done. Cane returned and, with him, the gunpowder. He liked Oviedo, from less to more, in Avilés in a friendly that serves to savor the first victory (1-2) of the season.
Oviedo tried to grow around the ball, with a bet with players on the right foot. It is something that is presupposed to the Bolo team. With Borja Sánchez located on the left and Marcelo Flores behind the striker, the team seemed to smile when the two entered the game. Hugo Rama played pivot again, this time with Jimmy. Bolo’s proposal is applauded, in search of organizers with a more creative profile, but the Galician is still grating on some concepts. One, basic: do not risk near the area.
Avilés was always well placed on the field. Surprisingly well placed for the few training sessions he had accumulated. He closed together and went electric as soon as he stole the ball.
Marcelo Flores was the first to step on the rival area, but his center could not find a finisher. A volley from the Mexican closed a suggestive staging by the blues. But Avilés, who did not suffer either, gave first, minute 18. It was in a corner kick, in its continuation specifically. Juan López put it with care in the heart of the area, there Morcillo emerged to head into the net, before the doubts between Braat and the defense.
Oviedo took another step forward, more out of pride, losing to a rival two categories below, what conviction. He touched and touched the Bolo team without finding the spaces. Avilés was dominated, and happy, in a remarkable defensive exercise at this point.
At rest, radical change in names. And the return of gunpowder. The author, easy to guess: the one who stores kilos of gunpowder in his boots, Borja Bastón. Bretones saw the unmarking, put it into space and Bastón did one of those actions that he already repeats as a routine: he hit the far post with the inside. The return of the goal had to bear his stamp.
The double was close, in another ball into space, the battering ram masterfully stung but the ball hit the post.
Oviedo had one more gear after the break, after the multiple changes and, logically, due to the poor preparation of Avilés. That is why the party leaned on the blue side. Bretones was able to do the second, after a brilliant drop by Bastón, always him, but Saldaña answered for sure.
The 1-2 came again from the left. Bretones returned to play the role of assistant, with a magnificent service that Sangalli took the opportunity to send to the net.
Miguelón’s injury, who had to leave the field, conditioned the last stretch. Boolo placed Jorge Mier on the side and Oviedo was left with one less player. Braat saved the tie against an attempt by Jorge and the victory went to the capital of the Principality.
