Las Palmas 1-2 Burgos: At the death, comeback complete | OneFootball

Burgos refused to settle for a draw and ended up taking the jackpot in Gran Canaria. The Burgos side came from behind against Las Palmas (1-2) in a match that the yellow team seemed to have under control, but that ultimately changed hands when the visitors decided to step up. It was a victory built on courage, pace on the counterattack, and belief until the very last breath.

Las Palmas had done enough for much of the first half to go into the lead. The home side controlled the ball and found one of their main threats in Jesé. The forward had already sent a warning with a powerful shot that crashed against the crossbar and, ten minutes later, he popped up again to open the scoring. This time he made no mistake: he received the ball in a good position and unleashed a fierce shot that Caro had no chance of stopping.

The 1-0 seemed a fair reflection of what had been seen on the pitch, but Burgos came back out for the second half looking like a different team. After a first half in which they had barely managed to impose their game, the visitors pushed up and began to find space behind the yellow defense.

Forés, who had been on the pitch for just twelve minutes, was the man who turned the match upside down. The striker beat Bonfanti in a foot race, went through on Caro, and finished with a delicate chip. Herzog got back in time to intervene on the line, but his clearance attempt was not enough and the ball ended up crossing over.

The equalizer completely changed the picture. Burgos grew in confidence and began to attack the spaces left by the home defense relentlessly. Every recovery became a threat, and runs in behind the center-backs kept coming.

Las Palmas tried to regain control, but Burgos had already figured out where the game was to be won. And in the dying moments they struck again in exactly the same way. Another quick transition, another run into the box, and once again a forward one-on-one with Caro. This time it was David González who made no mistake and scored the decisive 1-2.

Burgos leave Gran Canaria with three points that had looked far off at halftime. Las Palmas, by contrast, will have to rue a second half in which they did not know how to protect their lead. In the end, football rewarded the team that dared to go for the win when the opportunity came.
