Burgos and Ponferradina signed a tie this Saturday (2-2) in a rivalry with a controversial ending due to a goal disallowed against the Berciano team due to a millimeter offside by Sofian Chakla before the final whistle.
Erik Morán’s goal was disallowed at the request of video arbitration and prevented the visitors from adding the three points they saw lost almost with the last breath. Burgos, who was also left with a bee on the brink of achieving victory, will once again compete with him in the battle for sixth place.
The team of Berciano, with the debut of Juanfran García on the bench, offered an impressive first half, without taking even three minutes to show that they will come to Burgos, without a doubt, for the very needed success coming from the wing of Edu Espiau, whose center circled the area without Naim García reaching the shot.
[+] Watch the match summary:
Moments later, Dani Ojeda had a clear chance after a control error by Matos, who left the canary alone in a one-on-one with José Antonio Caro, but sent the ball into the clouds.
The visiting team is clear about the style that the Valencian coach has already noticed, maximum intensity in all actions, verticality and little elaboration to reach the area as soon as possible and find the shot, something that has been missing for several days.
Facing a local team, sometimes intimidating, without knowing how to counter that intensity with split balls and without creating a danger to the goal of Amir Abedzadeh, who has become just another spectator.
Late in the first half, Deportiva won the prize for so many offensive displays in one of its many transitions. Hugo Vallejo let the ball pass to Ojeda on the edge of the area so he, with a shot near the post, made it 0-1.
The joy of Juanfran García’s team did not last long, only passing through the changing rooms, because shortly after the match resumed a shot from Curro Sánchez was rejected in the middle by Amir and Ale Díez blocked Pablo Valcarce , which changed the maximum penalty to Sánchez himself for the match.
It didn’t take long for another clear chance from Burgos to arrive with a delivery by Matos, who hooked down with his left foot, found a hand from the Iranian goalkeeper to save his team and on the rebound the the full-back fired again, finding the leg of a defender.
The match turned for Julián Calero’s team, which equaled, and even surpassed, the intensity shown by its rival in the first half and having more control of the ball and the game.
The locals found their fate in a lack of understanding between Abedzadeh, rushing his exit, and Sofian Chakla, who found the shot from a shot with a header from Bermejo, who had just left the field, to turn marker.
With the result in their favor, the black and white team knew how to handle the game without going through too much trouble until, with the entry of Erik Morán, the encounter changed, as a filtered pass from him to Ale Díez allowed the cross that the winger introduced David to his goal Goldar.
La Deportiva came back to life when it was down and the shooting action came to a squad after Morán’s own Espiau drop meant an unexpected 2-3, later nullified by Chakla’s offside by a centimeter.
