Yesterday evening, while the duels at the top followed one another in the four corners of European lawns, a small miracle took place on the lawn of the anonymous stadium of Municipal Stadium of El Plantio, garnished with 11,000 spectators for the occasion.
A miracle that bears the hallmark of Burgos CF, the local team which, in the space of a match, threw away all its statistical certainties. In front of Alavestheir opponent of the evening, the Castilians have indeed struck three times to afford their most lavish victory of the season (3-0).
Three goals and three (huge) sighs of relief for the players. Because where this score, banal as possible, could seem futile for many observers, for Burgos it takes on a very particular importance. It is indeed the first time this season that the men of julian cauldron score more than one goal in the same game. Before that, they had in fact only planted… two small roses in 8 matches.
An improbable offensive dearth… which is however nothing compared to their impressive defensive solidity. Because if Burgos knew how to keep his clean sheet against Alaves, this is not the first time this season that this has happened, far from it. In nine matches, including the one against Alaves, the Castilians have not yet conceded a single goal!
The statistical balance sheet is therefore today more improbable than ever. After nine games, Burgos sits in 5th place in the standings with 15 points, three wins, six draws and zero losses.
The score of these six draws? Six times 0-0.
The score of the three victories? 1-0, 1-0 then this little miracle against Alaves, 3-0.
So do the math, in 9 matches, Burgos has scored five goals, conceded none and picked up 15 points. Unlikely. Note in passing that these nine consecutive matches without conceding are obviously an absolute record.
