The team qualified to the promotion playoffs against Rangers de Talca, and the team defeated the Rangers, and was promoted to the Primera División Chilena. He scored 5 goals in 34 matches that year.

On 25 February 2009, Oviedo played his first international match with Everton, against the Venezuelan club Caracas FC, in a 1–0 Everton home victory. Oviedo then played with Everton in all Copa Libertadores 2009 matches. In the Torneo de Apertura, the club was eliminated in the playoff semifinals against Universidad de Chile.
