In a pulsating clash at Estadio El Alcoraz, Huesca snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory over Burgos thanks to a last-gasp winner deep in stoppage time, sending the home crowd into raptures and giving Sergi Guilló Barceló’s men a crucial boost in their Segunda División campaign.

With Burgos entering the contest in fifth place and Huesca sitting mid-table, the stakes were high. Burgos controlled possession—holding the ball for 56% of the match—and demonstrated slick passing accuracy at 81%, but it was Huesca’s resilience and opportunism that ultimately shaped the contest.

First Half: Luna Breaks the Deadlock

The first real flashpoint came in the 40th minute, when Daniel Luna latched onto an incisive pass from Iker Kortajarena and finished smartly to give Huesca the lead. Luna’s movement unsettled the Burgos defense, and Kortajarena’s vision split the lines for Huesca’s opener.

Despite Burgos having the lion’s share of possession, they struggled to engineer clear chances, managing only four shots throughout—a testament to Huesca’s organized back line, marshaled by Jorge Pulido and Toni Abad.

Second Half: Burgos Fight Back

The visitors increased their tempo after the break, and in the 73rd minute, David González Ballesteros coolly converted a penalty, leveling the score and igniting hopes of a comeback. Burgos’ midfield, led by Kevin Appin and Iván Morante, began finding space, forcing fouls and drawing three yellow cards from Huesca and Burgos defenders alike as the game grew more tense.

Both sides made strategic substitutions, with Sergi Guilló Barceló injecting energy through Daniel Ojeda and Daniel Luna, while Luis Miguel Ramis Monfort sought attacking impetus with the introduction of Mario González and Ballesteros.

Stoppage-Time Heartbreak for Burgos

As the game ticked into added time, Huesca pressed desperately for a winner. The breakthrough arrived in the 94th minute when substitute S. Ntamack capitalized on a defensive lapse, rifling home from close range to seal the victory for the hosts. The drama of the stoppage time finish was palpable, a moment that will undoubtedly figure in highlight reels across Spanish sports media.
