Kwasi Sibo Registers Assured Display in Real Oviedo’s Opening Day Loss

By Emmanuel Austin Baah Last updated Aug 17, 2025

Ghanaian midfielder Kwasi Sibo began life in Spain’s top flight with a full debut for Real Oviedo in their 2–0 defeat to Villarreal on Sunday.

The 27-year-old, who joined Oviedo this summer after spells in England, Portugal and Serbia, was handed a starting role in midfield at the Estadio de la Cerámica. Despite the result, Sibo produced a composed display, completing 87 per cent of his passes and recording 37 touches across the 90 minutes.

Villarreal, however, proved too strong on the day. First-half goals from Gerard Moreno and Álex Baena sealed victory for the Yellow Submarine, leaving Oviedo with a difficult start to their La Liga campaign.

Sibo, a product of Accra-based club Accra Lions and once on the books of Watford, will be hoping his assured performance provides a solid platform as Oviedo look to establish themselves in the top division this season.
