More than three decades later,

José Antonio Caro

broke the unbeaten record in Spanish professional football, with 1,293 minutes without conceding a goal.

The streak of the Burgos goalkeeper, however, had a bitter end in El Plantío, where his team fell to Tenerife (0-1) after a penalty decreed at the request of the VAR and transformed by

Elady

.

That success from 11 meters, a quarter of an hour before the end of regulation time, frustrated Caro's feat, who in the 60th minute was able to beat

Abel Resino

's record .

Between September 29, 1990 and March 17, 1991, when he was beaten by

Luis Enrique

at the Vicente Calderón, the Atlético goalkeeper had gone 1,275 minutes without conceding a goal.

Caro, for his part, had not picked up a ball from the net since last April 10 when

Sergio Camello

scored the 3-1 for Mirandés.

It so happens that on October 16, during another Burgos derby, the goalkeeper from Huelva was sent off for touching a ball with his hand outside the area.

Dani Barrio

, his replacement, was beaten three times by Mirandés (2-1) and Lugo (2-0), during the pertinent sanction against Caro.

This defeat against Tenerife, after a very tense duel with 12 minutes added, does not seem to have exhausted Caro's illusion.

"We knew that our first defeat at home could come, but I am still tremendously proud of my team and of all those who surround this club," the Sevilla youth squad commented on his social networks.
