With Real Oviedo losing 2-0 after 56 minutes, coach Egea called upon the 22-year-old striker as they went in search of a point from the match.
However, Obeng was given his marching orders in the 73rd minute, for a dangerous play.

Obeng has scored one goal in three games for the club since joining from Calahorra this summer.
