Two avoidable errors, in the exit of the ball, condemned Sporting B against Burgos. The rojiblancos lost 0-2 against the leader in a good match that was decided by the inexperience of the locals and the quality of the Burgos. Sporting B dominated much of the match, but failed to score.

At 10 minutes, when Sporting was better planted on the field of play, beginning to look into the visiting area, Burgos’s goal came. Marcos Trabanco lost a ball at the start that Saúl Berjón knew how to take advantage of to put in a cross. Locksmith’s shot, defective, hit the defense and the visitor Juanma took the ball into the net, throwing Joel Jiménez off the track.

The goal did not make Sporting lose face to the game. Those of Samuel Baños, clearly superior to Burgos in the first period, remained faithful to their game plan: having the ball with long and meaningful possessions, knowing how to move the Burgos defense to find the gaps in the wings. There, Koné and especially César took the greatest danger, winning the baseline and setting centers for Berto and Álvaro Santamaría. Lucas, in the center of the field, synchronized everything. Sporting appeared several times at the rival goal, but without scoring.

The second half began with Burgos dominating, who had three very clear chances. Another error, also around the tenth minute of the second half, again condemned the locals. Zalaya lost a ball at the start, filtering an avoidable pass through the center that Undabarrena intercepted. The Burgos captain won the edge of the area and beat Joel Jiménez with a low shot, close to the post. The anger of the local coach Samuel Baños was evident.

With the result in favor, Burgos knew how to handle the match. The rojiblanco subsidiary tried on several occasions, with some clear opportunity, but could not beat the visiting goal.

Samuel Baños’ assessment

“We left the game in two mistakes”. That is the succinct and accurate analysis that Sporting B coach Samuel Baños made of yesterday’s defeat against Burgos, by 0-2. “The team competes, we were the whole game below and we continued to show our face,” praised the local coach, who insists that “in the face of difficulties like this year, the kids take steps forward, even if they are short and not enough to win ”. Thus, he understands that “this year is going to be of great use to them.” Also him. “I could not have a better or faster learning,” he settled.

Beyond the “enriching” of this year, which “is being difficult on a day-to-day basis”, Baños made it clear that “we are going to fight to score as many points as possible”. Something that they could not do yesterday in front of a Burgos that “It is a team to be promoted, with high-level players” to whom Sporting B knew how to stand up.

In addition, the players of the rojiblanco subsidiary took to the field with shirts supporting Boza and Pelayo Morilla due to their long-term injuries.
