The match began with a Larrañaga team playing more attacking and quick exits in transition with Lewis as the main scoring weapon. The error of the milrayitas happened in the transfer, with several losses due to bad passes, something that the Verdirrojo team also suffered from. This made the score very even in terms of scoring but at the same time low, with 7 equals in five minutes of play. This provoked Sergio Delgado’s request for a minute at the venue, but that minute was perfectly taken advantage of by the hill team, who defended hard and scored a partial of 11/0. In closing, an error by Blazina gave Enzo Delgado the goal with a steal on the front line, which Damian himself was in charge of remedying in the recharge to close the first 10 minutes with a victory for Verdirrojo 15 to 9.
With a triple by Patita Pereira, the second quarter opened, at which time the milrayitas had gone to a defense in a 2-3 zone to try to close the scoring of the visiting team. Something that the team achieved in part, helped by Monteverde’s duel with Al-Zuhairi, where the atmosphere got a little heated and all the players went to attack the Iraqi, trying to charge him with fouls and they forgot to rotate the ball, how he had been giving them a good income. Based on good minutes from Cabillón, with a bomb included, Larrañaga managed to get to a double with six minutes remaining in the fourth. Delgado’s team tried to react, but every time they found themselves at a ball, Verdirrojo found a way to open the distance, first with a double and foul by Hector Silva and then with a bomb by Corbisiero, until after closing 5 consecutive points from Lewis made it possible for Larrañaga to pass the score by a minimum and close the first half winning 29 to 28.
The third started heated, the topic of the Cerro team with the foreigner from Larrañaga was already hot, and even more so when Al-Zuhairi nailed a triple and made a sign as if looking into the distance and then something told D’jellatian who reacted by touching his face and that made Andrés Bartel whistle a technical foul on the Iraqi and an unsportsmanlike foul on the man from Verdirrojo. Larrañaga’s stage was heated and the one who knew how to take advantage of that game was precisely the milrayitas, who led by his historic Camilo Colman opened nine points (40-31). But in a close and very intertwined match, Verdirrojo managed to find some points with Silva to shorten the difference and hover between 2 and 4 points. At the end of the third and managing to run the field, Larrañaga opened the maximum of 10 (53-43) thanks to two bombs, one from Cabillón and another from Lewis to face the last 10 minutes of the game.
The Cerro team again rotated in defense, between individual and zone 2-3, something that worked because it annulled the local team’s goal. The bad thing for Green-Red was that he couldn’t capture all the good things about defense in attack. This undoubtedly benefited Larrañaga, who controlled the game based on the difference achieved at the end of the third quarter. The interlude, nervousness and anger from the stands made for a hot ending on Francisco Simón street, with a separate duel between Brian García and his partiality. The same nervousness was drawn on the court and Larrañaga closed it with free kicks by Delgado and Colman in the end. The score was from 71 to 64.
