Cordoba directly suffers the cruelty of the Second Division. The match against Burgos is not for the faint-hearted. A duel controlled by the green and white team until Lapeña was sent off fifteen minutes from the end. He let himself get up and had to appear Yoldi: The Hero Who Saved a Tie. However, there is much to work on and improve from Iván Ania’s boys who present a well-established group in attack, although with doubts in defense.
Finally, the changes that the green and white coach was able to show against Burgos have occurred. Iván Ania has made two changes compared to his eleven from last week. To make his home debut, he has chosen Antonio Casas as a reference at the top and Théo Zidane in the center of the fieldwith Álex Sala as a partner. Those sacrificed: Obolskii and Genaro Rodríguez. However, from the first minutes the new team design seemed to work, but with the same idea that Córdoba had since last season in the First Federation. The first arrivals were white-green.
Jacobo tried a shot, but the ball bounced badly and ended up in the hands of the goalkeeper. In attack, the team did well, although in defense they suffered more. Once again with a lack of vigor as happened against Mirandés on the first day. Burgos made a dangerous cross that he managed to finish, but the action was invalidated for offside. For its part, Córdoba went on the attack. He took control of the game and handled the ball, although Burgos was waiting for his moment.
Carracedo tried his luck with a great run, but in the final meters he saw Jacobo’s arrival badly, as he could not reach his teammate’s pass. The team led by Iván Ania was well constituted. After the first twenty minutes, the attacks of the Burgos team were arriving. First, Lapeña stopped a point-blank shot from Burgos, who was about to shoot. to Carlos Marín (min. 19). Bolo’s team started to create danger, with a shot from Appin after a corner. The green and white defense was struggling against the rival arrivals.
The clearest for Córdoba also came with Lapeña as the protagonist. A cross launched by Álex Sala that the defender finished low, but was stopped by the goalkeeper on the same goal line (min. 26). So, Théo Zidane managed to recover a good cross with almost no angle that ended up with Calderón, who managed to finish with a volley, but sent the ball into the side of the net. Córdoba also tried his luck on the wings, but without reaching the finish. In this vein, Adilson tried with his verticality, but without success. The last thing that stood out in the first half was a header in the back of Antonio Casas. The Ramblez man scored the ball but got close to the post defended by Cantero.
Decisive part
Burgos took the lead early in the second half, although the score was still undecided. Although it would not take long. It could only be Antonio Casas who scored Córdoba’s first goal in the Second Division and at El Arcángel. The Rambleño forward took advantage of a Burgos clearance error to beat Cantero and open the scoring of the match.
Amidst all the rumors about his departure, Casas lifted El Arcángel with his first goal of the season (1-0, minute 52).After that, the game entered one of its most exciting phases. Everything happened in the next twenty minutes. First, Yoldi came on against an injured Adilson.
The Navarrese was placed in midfield, moving Jacobo to the left wing. Then, two dangerous chances for the green and white team. Albarran gave way for a long time in front of Carracedo who wanted looking for the center with Antonio Casasbut did not reach the heart of the area. The clearest was that of Ander Yoldi, who dribbled and remained alone in the area, but his shot grazed the post.
The twelve minutes of added time became an ordeal for a team that could not give more. When all seemed lost, the unexpected hero of El Arco appeared. A cross from Albarrán from the right that Ander Yoldi reached at the far post for a high header that slipped into the rival goal (2-2, minutes 97). Point saved in extremis. Suffering this largely demonstrates the change of category. Welcome to the Second Division.
