Gio González, Larin and Abdón are on target to ensure our progress in the Copa del Rey
Gio González, Larin and Abdón all struck in the second half as we progressed into the next round of the Copa del Rey courtesy of a 3-0 win at Burgos CF.
Javier Aguirre made a number of changes as he rotated his side for the cup fixture in a game which would see five academy products involved.
Siebe Van der Heyden ha the game’s first opportunity when he rose highest to meet a cross but could not get his header on target.
While we dominated in the opening exchanges, the hosts looked dangerous against the run of play as Raúl Navarro tested Dominik Greif from outside the box.
Álex Bermejo would test Greif again before headed into the break, but we returned to the dressing room with the scores level.
We took the lead after the restart in the 61st minute when González fired home from close range Sergi Darder’s dangerous cross.
Abdón returned to haunt his former side as our striker capitalised on a defensive mistake to tee up Larin with an open goal to double our lead.
Abdón transitioned from provider to goalscorer in the 80th minute to put the game beyond doubt when he followed up on Antonio Sánchez’s earlier effort.
