In a match where the scoreboard belied the intensity on the pitch, Las Palmas and Burgos played to a goalless draw at the Estadio de Gran Canaria. Despite dominating possession with 66%, the home side couldn't penetrate Burgos' resilient defense in this Segunda División tie.
The game was characterized by its physicality rather than fluid play, with referee Rafael Sanchez Lopez showing a flurry of yellow cards throughout. Jesé Rodríguez was booked early in the 19th minute, setting the tone for a match often interrupted by fouls and stoppages.
Burgos managed only one shot on target, a statistic that underlined their focus on a solid defensive approach. Las Palmas, on the other hand, created more chances but lacked the clinical edge to capitalize, with six shots on goal all saved by Burgos' keeper.
The second half saw a series of substitutions as both teams sought a breakthrough, but the tactical revisions failed to alter the scoreline. Iñigo Cordoba's involvement for Burgos was notable, as he engaged in numerous duels and interceptions, helping to keep the home side at bay.
Las Palmas' recent form has been patchy, mixing victories with draws and losses, while Burgos continues to show resilience despite their struggles in other fixtures. Both teams will need to reflect on their attacking options as they prepare for their next challenges in the league.
