The Asturian derby (Spanish: Derbi Asturiano), is the name given to any association football match contested between Sporting de Gijón and Real Oviedo, the two biggest clubs in the Asturias.
The latest official match was played in 2003 and Real Oviedo won by 2–1 at Estadio Carlos Tartiere weeks before being relegated to Segunda División B.
The first competitive match between both teams was played in December 1926, after the two main teams in Oviedo (Stadium Ovetense and Deportivo Oviedo) merged for creating Real Oviedo. The match, of the Regional Championship of Asturias, was played in El Molinón and Sporting Gijón won by 2–1.
The first official match in the Spanish league was played on February 1929, during the 1929 Segunda División, and Oviedo beat Sporting again by 6–2. In 1944 was played the first derby in La Liga and the Carbayones won 2–1.
On 27 February 1966, just after the kick off of the derby at El Molinón, several people became injured after an avalanche happened in one of the tribunes of the stadium.
On 29 May 1977 a special derby was held in Oviedo, where Sporting won by 2–1 at Estadio Carlos Tartiere in the penultimate match of the 1976–77 Segunda División, achieving the promotion to La Liga for starting the golden years of the club.
On 15 March 1998, Oviedo won by 2–1 the last derby played until nowadays in La Liga. After that season, Sporting relegated to Segunda División with the worst performance ever in the Spanish top league. This was also the last Asturian derby played in the old Estadio Carlos Tartiere, before its closure in May 2000.
