El Lobo and Argentino face off for their eighth National League match at the Superdomo, home of the Riojans. It was a victory for Riachuelo in front of his people, they broke a streak of three falls and won their second match in the competition. The Turk continues his bad past without achieving another victory, he only has what has been played so far.
El Lobo wins again after three falls
In the first period of the match, the visitors led the scoreboard thanks to Emmanuel Payton-Clottey (22 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists). They managed to settle down and take the first ten minutes through a unit. But in the second quarter, the local team woke up and after a good defense, they converted and came back. However, the visitors did not stop fighting and tied the game again. A fight that they could not maintain for long and Riachuelo overcame. El Lobo reached halftime with six points.
Argentino tried to fight back at the start of the second half. But the local team did not give up on the scoreboard and remained in the lead. Jonathan Maldonado (13 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 block) was the guide of the Rioja team in this part. Also who opened the networks to get the difference. The low effectiveness of the shots spelled disaster for Argentino who never recovered and fell by 18 points.
What’s next for you two?
Argentino will continue his route in northern Argentina, he will visit the Ciudad Stadium to face the eventual champions, Quimsa. Ramella’s team is at the top of the table, with seven wins and just one loss. A result that could be said to be a given but the Turk will defy all odds in the battle in Santiago del Estero. While Riachuelo will keep the home field and host one of the revelation teams of the League, San Martín de Corrientes. A Rooster who gets good performance and shows it with victories.
