Burgos CF managed to seize three points against CD Tenerife, clinching the match with a late goal by Curro Sánchez, securing their victory with a score of 1-0.
The decisive moment came at the 84th minute when Curro, capitalizing on excellent play from Iñigo Córdoba, struck decisively, sending the ball past the Tenerife defense and goalkeeper Édgar Badía. This late goal turned out to be the match-winner, ensuring Burgos headed home with maximum points.
Throughout the game, Burgos exhibited strong control, especially during the first half where they remained dominant. Notably, they had another goal disallowed earlier, chalked off after VAR review, when Fer Niño found the net. "Burgos ha dominado el partido y ya pudo irse al descanso con ventaja", reported El Diario, highlighting the frustrations of the home team before the break.
Changes made during the game, particularly the introduction of Iñigo Córdoba, provided the needed spark for the Burgos attack. His run down the left led to the well-placed cross for Curro, who was waiting for the opportunity. "La salida de Iñigo Córdoba ha activado el ataque burgalés", added El Diario, reflecting on the tactical shift made by Burgos' coach.
Despite the late drama, the match itself saw limited chances as both teams struggled to create clear-cut opportunities. The intense contest kept the fans on edge, and the final moments were filled with tension as Tenerife pushed for an equalizer, yet the solid defensive play from Burgos held strong.
The game was attended by 8,501 spectators at the Estadio El Plantío, who witnessed the hard-fought contest. The referee, Pérez Hernández, was compelled to show several yellow cards throughout the match: curiously, local players Mario Cantero, Borja Sánchez, and Curro received cautions, as did Tenerife's Enric Gallego and Sergio González.
Ending the first half at 0-0, the tension escalated when the second half began with both sides vying to gain the upper hand. Opportunities came and went but the defenses held; it wasn't until the late stages of the game when the heroics of Curro became the defining moment.
With this win, Burgos concluded the first half of their LaLiga HyperMotion season with 26 points, positioning themselves as serious contenders moving forward. This victory exemplifies their resilience and tactical determination and should bolster their confidence as they push through the next phase of the league.
Burgos CF's faithful can look forward to what lies next, having shown they can rise to the occasion when it matters the most. Have they suddenly found their strike force? Only time will tell as they aim for consistency.
