On May 14, 2026, at the Bernabéu Stadium, Real Madrid earned a controlled 2-0 victory over Real Oviedo in their La Liga encounter. Goals from Gonzalo García and Jude Bellingham capped a disciplined display built on steady possession and decisive finishing.
Real Madrid started aggressively and nearly broke through within six minutes. Gonzalo beat Eric Bailly down the flank before cutting the ball back for Franco Mastantuono, whose right-footed strike was denied by visiting goalkeeper Aarón Escandell. Trent Alexander-Arnold then tested Oviedo again with a long-range effort that flashed narrowly wide as the hosts controlled possession early.
Despite Madrid’s pressure, Oviedo threatened before halftime. In the 39th minute, Nacho Vidal Martínez found space at close range but lifted his effort over the crossbar, wasting the visitors’ clearest opening of the half. That miss proved costly. Just before the break, Álvaro Carreras intercepted possession high up the pitch and quickly fed Brahim Díaz, who slipped a precise pass into Gonzalo’s path. The forward controlled expertly inside the box before firing past Aarón to give Madrid a deserved 1-0 lead in the 44th minute.
Madrid continued to dictate the tempo after the break. Brahim and Carreras combined again in the 57th minute when the Spaniard produced a clever back heel inside the penalty area, allowing Carreras to strike first time with his left foot, only for Aarón to keep Oviedo alive with another sharp save.
Oviedo nearly punished Madrid’s missed chances in the 63rd minute. Nacho Vidal Martínez raced through one-on-one with Thibaut Courtois, but his finish drifted wide of the target, preserving the hosts’ narrow advantage.
The decisive moment arrived ten minutes from time. Jude Bellingham collected possession on the edge of the area and unleashed a powerful left-footed strike into the corner to seal the victory and bring the Bernabéu crowd to its feet.
The result ensured a comfortable night for Real Madrid in front of their home supporters, while Oviedo were left to reflect on missed opportunities that might have changed the complexion of the contest.
