What a story for Real Oviedo! 25 years later, the Spanish club will find the first division after a crazy evening. Opposed to Mirandés, the club in the capital of Asturias quickly conceded the opening of the scoring on a head of its Argentinian attacker Panichelli (1-0, 16th). What question the rise in question after conceding the 1-0 defeat in the first leg. But legend Santi Cazorla, 40, first equalized on penalty to restore hope to his team (1-1, 39th).

Before Oviedo took the lead thanks to a goal from Chaira (2-1, 52nd). The two teams were then tied in the two games, and stood out. And it is another experienced player, Francisco Portillo, (35), who offered victory to the locals (3-1, 103rd) and especially the qualification in a mad match, where three players were excluded. 25 years after his last season in Liga, the Carboyes will therefore find the elite of Spanish football during the 2025-2026 season, alongside Levante and Elche.
