La Liga EA Sports: Not since 2000-01 have Real Oviedo played in Spanish football’s top division, but more than two decades later the Asturian team are one draw or win away from finally returning to La Liga EA Sports level.

After eliminating SD Eibar in midweek courtesy of a 2-0 away victory in the La Liga HyperMotion playoff semifinals, they have taken the advantage at the halfway stage of the final, having defeated RCD Espanyol 1-0 at home on Sunday evening.

Brazilian forward Alexandre Alemão was the hero once again for Los Azules. After opening the scoring against SD Eibar on Wednesday, he was then the quickest to react when RCD Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García spilled a freekick in the 72nd minute of the playoff final first leg.
