Nobody could get near Santiago Lencina
Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Curro in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Burgos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

David Gutiérrez steps up from the Burgos academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. David Gutiérrez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Burgos promote Aimar Blanco from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Aimar Blanco has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Words at Burgos training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oier Luengo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Burgos pick somebody else ahead of Adán Gurdiel
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sergio González, and the manager let it.

Burgos and Córdoba cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Córdoba came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Ignasi Vilarrasa shuts the door
Defensive actions: 12, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
In brief
- Market Burgos borrow Pablo García
