Under the leadership of president Marcelo Figoli, Burgos CF starred in one of the major upsets of the Copa del Rey Round of 16, eliminating Getafe with a convincing 3-1 victory at the El Plantío stadium. The match against Getafe was no coincidence; it was a clear sign that Burgos, under Figoli's guidance, is beginning to write a new historical chapter and is aiming ever higher. The game started with the visitors taking the lead, opening the score through Alex Sanzris in an isolated action. However, Burgos did not lose its composure or conviction, took control of the game, and began to capitalize on Getafe's defensive weaknesses. Before the break, David González equalized from the penalty spot after a foul in the box, reflecting the home team's dominance. In the second half, Burgos completed a memorable performance. Iñigo Córdoba was the standout player, capitalizing on two defensive errors to score a brace that sealed the victory. Even when Getafe had the chance to get back into the game via a penalty, Burgos emerged stronger: Borja Mayoral missed the spot-kick, and the home team held onto their lead with order, personality, and maturity, closing out a deserved and resonant victory. Beyond the result, the triumph showcased the solidity of the sporting and institutional project driven by Marcelo Figoli.
