In the second half, Real Madrid imposed its control over the game and maintained possession for long periods, but lacked offensive effectiveness in front of the goal. Meanwhile, Oviedo came close to scoring an equalizer in the 62nd minute when one of their shots narrowly missed the post.

In the 80th minute, Real Madrid scored a second goal through Jude Bellingham, who received the ball, entered the penalty area, and shot a ground ball into the net. Courtois saved his goal from a dangerous chance in the 84th minute.

Real Madrid increased their tally to 80 points, securing second place, having lost the title in the previous round. Meanwhile, Oviedo's tally remained at 29 points, placing them in the twentieth and last position.
