Outstanding performance
Almería•MidfielderAlmería dominated territorially from the first whistle, racking up 69% possession and 23 shots to Burgos' 7, yet found themselves behind at the break after Jon Karrikaburu capitalized on a set-piece scramble in the 40th minute. The hosts' control didn't translate into goals until a wave of second-half substitutions changed the complexion of the match, with Brian Cipenga leveling in the 77th minute before turning provider moments later for Miguel de la Fuente's winner in the 84th. Burgos, sitting 18th and fighting against the tide of Almería's 76 dangerous attacks to their 21, showed defensive resilience for long stretches with six saves and 26 tackles but ultimately couldn't hold out against the sheer weight of pressure. For Almería this result builds much-needed momentum, while Burgos will rue a missed opportunity to steal points away from home despite their disciplined defensive shape for large periods.
