Around 2,000 people in the municipality of Burgos, in the tenth edition of the Jesús Gil Memorial. Stifling afternoon. Enrique Cerezo and Miguel Ángel Gil, president and CEO of Atlético de Madrid, attended the meeting.

Atlético de Madrid has faithfully attended its summer event in El Burgo de Osma, the hometown of former club president, Jesús Gil, to play the tenth edition of its memorial trophy against Numancia, now in the Second RFEF and when this trophy was released in the Second Division.

And he has done it with the second row, saving the trip from Madrid to El Burgo de Osma for a good part of the starting eleven that drew with Betis in Seville last weekend on a day marked by heat, like the one this Thursday afternoon in Castilian lands.

Cholo Simeone has given minutes to players like Morata, Marcos Llorente, Samu and Riquelmethe latter especially active during the match, in which the rojiblanco team carried the weight of the match, the ball circulated better, but it lacked the sauce of football, which is none other than the goal, which took longer than desired to find.

Up to six occasions of some clarity the rojiblanco team has had but the lack of aim, sometimes, and the success of the Numantino goalkeeper have prevented the score from moving.

Riquelme, after five minutes, missed a clear chance, after a pass from Morata, when he shot against the goalkeeper, with everything in his favor to open the scoring. three minutes later Saúl has seen how his shot from the front was taken out with the tips of his fingers by the Numantino goalkeeper, to divert to corner. Samu, after a quarter of an hour, drew the diagonal well from the left but his shot, too soft, allowed the goalkeeper to arrive on time.

Samu himself had another chance after a play on the left by Morata (min. 25) and Riquelme, a minute later, saw how the crossbar returned the ball to him and the second shot went just wide.

After the restart, the Numancia has enjoyed the clearest chancethrough the mediation of Carlos González, who failed to connect between the three sticks when the goalkeeper was displaced, before Morata, from the front, after leaving his pair, deceived the goalkeeper to open the bookmark. Barely ten minutes of this part had been consumed.

The recently entered Edgar field was able to tie for Numancia, in a shot at the far post that ended in a corner kick. But “roro” Riquelme took advantage of a counterattack to secure the score, after leaving the goalkeeper seated with a feint.

Dorronsoro avoided the third game with a good hand, halfway through the second half, at which point the carousel of changes began for both teams, to close a game in which Atlético once again took the trophy to their showcases.
