The game started in favor of a very accurate Athens in the field goals, with two triples, and the Greek got a difference of eight (17-9 and 20-12) in the first quarter. However, Quimsa came back and hit a 16-8 run for the first quarter to end 25-25.
Already in the second quarter the procedure was not easy and Quimsa dominated at times, although without making much difference to an Athens that was always competitive.
The third quarter was superior for Quimsa, who ended up taking it 27-19 and went to the break 63-57 up.
However, Atenas had a magnificent start to the fourth quarter, with two triples, and got a 7-0 run to go on to win 64-63 thanks to a great performance by Matías Martínez, who played a great game.
The Santiago team recovered and went on to win six up, a few minutes from the end. But when it seemed that the match was being taken by the leader of the League, Athens reappeared on the scene with a great match from Lema and drew 82-82, for the match to be defined in the supplementary.
