Football without an audience makes all the sense in the world.

A derby, on the other hand ... A new word would have to be invented, now that doing so is so fashionable, to define what Oviedo and Sporting played at the

Carlos Tartiere

this Sunday

.

Because yes, the vacillations that the rojiblancos fans will have to endure due to the defeat will be the same as in any other confrontation between the two great Asturian football players and the joy of the Carbayones will be identical.

But the soul, the color, the screams, that extra point of tension were lacking ... The Asturian derby was less of a derby than ever, but the three points and the winner's joy until the next match are worth the same.

[1-0: Narration and statistics]

Even more so when Oviedo's victory implies Sporting's first defeat this season.

Those of

David Gallego

arrived to the duel undefeated, with full victories and without having conceded a single goal yet.

The one marked by captain Sergio Tejera, from a penalty in the first half, was enough for his great streak to be exhausted, now relegating those from Gijón to a second position that, in any case, would have signed with blood in the summer.

For Oviedo it is the first victory of the season, after three draws and a defeat in the first four games.

Ziganda's

team

showed up at the match with the greatest determination.

He showed many difficulties to reach the area, and that is something that he will have to solve in order to face his next commitments.

Sangalli tried to beat lines while driving every time he got the ball, while Sporting was not entirely comfortable.

It is true that Djurdjevic tested Femenías after eight minutes, but the Gijon team offered little more.

Oviedo, on the other hand, was gaining ground little by little, with a couple of good chances from

Blanco Leschuk and Sangalli

, maturing the game as it was tilted in their favor.

Until after half an hour, Javi Fuego was late to a dispute with Sangalli and knocked him down in the area.

Tejera, a carbayón bracelet, executed the penalty with an enormous cold blood: flat, soft and through the center of the goal.

After passing through the dressing rooms, Sporting appeared with other spirits, but his rival continually denied him the spaces he needed to try to turn the scoreboard around.

Gallego's men absorbed much more ball, but could not alter their scorecard due to the wall deployed by Oviedo ahead of

Femenías

.

Not once did the visiting team finish off the goal in the second half and thus, of course, it is very difficult to tie a game that you are losing.

The sportinguista good fortune, in short, did not find continuity in the Tartiere, thus yielding the leadership of the category to

Espanyol

, which already justifies its status as the top favorite for direct promotion.

This day, by the way, also saw the first cessation of the season: Lugo dismissed Juanfran García, the hero of the permanence last season, this Sunday after adding three consecutive defeats.
