The racing players crashed into the wall set up by Burgos, who took oil from an action on the counterattack in injury time

Soccer is soccer, is a phrase coined by Vujadin Boskov, a Serbian player and coach who died in 2014. Everything fits in this mass sport, which sometimes generates a great spectacle and other times not so much. Racing found an unexpected Burgos, who played not to play, with ten players behind the ball waiting to steal a ball and look for a counterattack or take advantage of a strategic play, with which the Castilians have already achieved 13 goals, five of them from corner kicks.
Burgos had not added a single point away from home, the first was in A Malata, based on this way of playing, which for many is anti-football. However, they did well, they have added one point, which helps them improve their classification. The way to achieve it no longer matters, tomorrow they will have forgotten, but the point will still be in their box.
Racing, against such a tight rival, did almost everything well, they just lacked punch. It was not easy to find gaps in a defense of five that was so tight and with four players ahead, although the Ferrolans managed it, but when they reached the last meters they failed to finish. Álvaro Giménez’s goal came after a glaring mistake by the goalkeeper, the striker from Elche was on the spot and did not forgive.
However, during the match, opportunities were wasted with which the Ferrolans could have resolved the match. 1-0 is always a dangerous score, with which you live on a knife’s edge. Cristóbal had just placed Jon García as the third center back, like a libero from many years ago, although it didn’t work. Curro touched the ball very quickly and served a good ball to Fer Niño, who beat Cantero with a shot off the post. It was a quick play, Jon, who broke the offside, did not even have time to move and David, who came with Fer Niño from behind, could not prevent him from shooting at goal. A serious mistake by the Racing defense and at the same time a great success by the Burgos forwards. The most painful thing was that it came in the seven minutes that the referee added to the game, when in the first half, he barely scored, despite the fact that Burgos always played to stop the game, to play as little as possible. However, it would be unfair to blame the match referee for the draw.
Great sensations
It is a tie that opens the debate between whether we add a point or miss two. The best thing is that Racing once again left great sensations, especially in the first half. Ball circulation was good. Bernal, Señé and Iker Losada gave a lesson in good play, with which they opened up the crowded Burgos defense. Iker Losada is the most spectacular of the three. He is a player who has magic and from whom you can expect genius at any time. They touched the ball again and again until they found the spaces, at least while their legs held out, since in the second half their performance dropped.
With the utmost respect to Vadillo, who is little by little recovering sensations, the truth is that Héber’s shadow is long, his centers and his entries to the far post were missed.
In the end, what remains of this match is a point that brings Racing a little closer to its first objective, remaining in the Second Division.
