Burgos took Sinfin to the wire and came out on top, 35:30 in the División de Honor Plata on Saturday evening. The result flips the script from their last meeting in May, when Sinfin ran riot with a 37:25 victory. And here's the thing — it was supposed to be the other way around again.
Sinfin arrived fifth on the table with two points after beating Evisa 31:28 on their opening day. Burgos sat ninth, already carrying a defeat from their opener, a 26:26 draw with Amenabar. By then the narrative had settled: visitors would extend their momentum, hosts would stumble again.
Our call was a home win, 64 per cent confidence. Prediction came through, though not without teeth. Sinfin kept knocking on the door in the second half, but Burgos held firm when the game tightened. To be fair, the visitors had the sharper edge early on, but the hosts adjusted.
The table after this round tells a simple story. Sinfin move up to four points, Burgos drop to zero. Two games played each now, and the gap between fifth and ninth looks wider than it did before kickoff. The visitors have won; the hosts have lost twice.
What matters is not the scoreline but the shift. Sinfin came expecting another easy afternoon and found resistance. Burgos, already down, refused to fold. The momentum has turned, if only for a week.
