Burgos Stuns Getafe to Advance in Copa del Rey

Burgos, a Spanish second division team, pulled off a major upset this Thursday by defeating Getafe 3-1 at home in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. Following this, the Argentine News Agency (NA) reviews the goals from the match that secured the Castile and León team's passage to the quarter-finals. The visitors took the lead through a goal by Alex Sanchez from a isolated play, but they gradually faded. Burgos capitalized on the visiting team's defensive weaknesses to equalize, with David González scoring from the penalty spot, taking the match to halftime on equal terms. Although it seemed unlikely given the disparity in the quality of the two squads, the home side capitalized on two errors, with a precise Iñigo Córdoba scoring a brace to seal the 3-1 victory and advance to the next round.
