The aurinegro traced a difference of 16 points that his rival got to take him out in the first set. Ibarra was the top scorer of the game with 20 points while Roberto Orresta added 18 for the Tucumán team.
Comu closes its participation tomorrow at 5.30 pm facing Colón de Corrientes.
Entertaining first half was played in “Pope Francis.” The first ten minutes were of the Fusion that found a goal from where it was proposed. He started looking for Freeman in the paint that at the beginning he had no problems, then he was well marked. This generated that the defense sunk to close the internal goal, Comu left room for the shooters of the Tucuman team who did not forgive. With four minutes played and the Fusion was winning 13 to 3 and dominated the actions. Comu had closed the ring just a triple from Bejar at that time. Herrera began looking for options from the bank but the solution did not appear and thus the Merger reached the maximum (16 points) in the absence of 3.40. Orresta was not forgiving and pushed his team. However, a triple from Ibarra and another from Viana brought Comu closer to close the part 26 to 15 above the whole of Tucumán.
The second set was more even. He adjusted the Comu marks but the losses were constant on both teams. Little by little with a good job from Ibarra Comu he was cutting the difference taking advantage of the drought that the rival had as a result of some bad decisions at the time of closing the plays. The game went from 30 to 28 and it seemed that the aurinegro’s comeback would reach a draw at least, however in a burst the Fusion returned to put a partial of 5 to 0 with a triple from Rodríguez and a double from Orresta to get 35 At 30. At the end, Martín Bonja, who plays in the Fusion, caught a rebound and sealed the result from 37 to 30 in the first 20 minutes.
After the return from the long break, La Fusión started better and again took a good difference. Having a good time with the ball and taking advantage of a Martín Bonja involved in the game, he took nine out of difference. But little by little Comu returned to the game well managed by “Nacho” Farías and with Matías Núñez taking charge of adding to cut. Thus in the absence of 3.19 the difference was six and with Comu. The Fusion could not find the goal and the part was closed 54 to 51 in favor of the Tucuman.
The last 10 minutes were intense and with passages of nervousness on the part of both teams. The scoring was distributed and the technician of the Tucuman team at one point bet on having two great interns looking to complicate Comu, a team of less stature. The game was very even and with four minutes to go, the Mercedes team managed to go to the front 60 to 58. The aurinegro looked more solid and that was seen in the rectangle because he put a
partial from six to zero with just over two minutes left.
It seemed that the game was taking him away, however La Fusión did not give up and with a triple by Carrizo he got back in the game, 68 to 67. Comu closed it better, he had to replace several times because La Fusión had fouls to give. Comu was not weighed by the way the end came to be, the boys played it very concentrated and won the victory by 70 to 67. Thanks to Jáchal’s victory over Colón, the Mercedinos secured their place in the final homerun of the Federal Tournament.
