Burgos CF suffered another crushing defeat at El Plantío, succumbing to Real Oviedo with a final score of 1-2 on February 22, 2025. Despite initially taking the lead with Borja Sánchez's goal, they could not hold onto their advantage, allowing the visitors to come from behind and secure all three points.
The match started energetically for Burgos, who exerted pressure right from the whistle. Their efforts garnered results at the 28-minute mark when Sánchez connected with a header from Álex Sancris's cross, making it 1-0. The goal sent the home crowd buzzing with hope, thinking they might finally claim victory after recent disappointments.
Unfortunately for the home fans, celebrations were short-lived. Just before halftime, Real Oviedo leveled the score when Alemão capitalized on a well-placed header from Jaime Seoane, sending the teams to the locker room at 1-1. This turn of events shifted the momentum, leading to heightened tension for the second half.
After the break, Burgos struggled to regain control. A pivotal moment came during the 58th minute when Oviedo seized advantage after Dani Calvo scored from close range following dubious defensive errors on Burgos's part. Cantero's failure to adequately clear the ball from a corner kick left the net wide open for Calvo, who didn't hesitate to capitalize.
Burgos pushed hard to regain the equalizer, with numerous attempts to break through Oviedo's defense—but frustration mounted as multiple shots failed to hit the target. The most notable opportunity came late in the game, deep in stoppage time. Curro Sánchez made a significant play alongside Elady, but the latter's shot soared over the crossbar, sealing their fate as the final whistle blew shortly after.
The defeat leaves Burgos CF perched precariously near the relegation zone, adding pressure as they look toward their next match against Castellón, scheduled for the upcoming Saturday. The team's head coach, Ramis, will undoubtedly have to reassess their approach, especially considering the costly errors displayed on the pitch.
Despite a strong start, Burgos has failed to build momentum, instead suffering from lapses and defensive mistakes at key moments. The league standings are now more concerning for Burgos fans, as they continue to anxiously watch other teams who share the fight against relegation. With each passing game, they feel the urgency grow.
