Cucho Hernández’s double helped Real Betis push Real Oviedo closer to relegation with a decisive 3-0 victory on May 3, 2026, at Estadio de La Cartuja.
Real Betis currently sits in 5th position in La Liga with 50 points. In contrast, Real Oviedo languishes at the bottom in 20th position with just 28 points.
Cucho Hernández scored two of the three goals for Real Betis, bringing his tally to 10 goals this season. This win extended Real Betis’ unbeaten run against Real Oviedo to 14 games, comprising seven wins and seven draws.
The last encounter between these teams ended in a 1-1 draw. However, this latest result marks a significant setback for Real Oviedo as they face relegation challenges.
Real Betis has not lost at home in the league since December. Manager Manuel Pellegrini celebrated another milestone by becoming the third manager in La Liga history to record victories against 40 different teams.
With only four matches remaining in the season, observers expect Real Oviedo to make an immediate return to the second tier unless their fortunes change rapidly.
