El Calamar welcomes San Lorenzo to the Ciudad de Vicente López Microstadium for the National League. It was a victory for Platense in a very spicy match, with sending offs and meaning at the end. Saavedra’s team managed to end the Cuervos’ winning streak and leveled the table with them and Boca Juniors.
The Squid stronger than the Storm
The match was dyed brown from the start, as Platense, with a pressing defense all over the field, complicated Boedo’s team. They also add great effectiveness to their penetrations. The atmosphere of the game gradually increased, due to a San Lorenzo who was not in the game and they were filled with impatience. Eric Flor (16 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal) was able to outsmart Leo Costa’s team. El Calamar retired at halftime with 11 more units than the visiting team.
In the second half, everything exploded, Leonardo Costa was sent off for a double technique on the bench, his assistant Sebastión Bruin replaced him and the coach was followed by Federico Marín. Bird had his debut tonight in the 40th season of the National League and was also excluded for two maximum penalties. However, Cuervo grew in the game thanks to Gastón Córdoba (17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block). Boedo’s team managed to tie the game in the final period, which was point to point until the visit failed and Platense took advantage.
Platense with a great performance by Facundo Vázquez (23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 recoveries) ended up winning the match by four points and ended San Lorenzo’s winning streak. There was so much inconsistency in the game that the referees lost their hand and sent off three more players, all up to 5 warnings. One of them is the figure, Facundo Vázquez, the only one in Calamar and they join the captain, the pivots, Kevin Hernández and Iván Basualdo.
What’s next for you two?
Platense will keep the home field and the South American champion will visit. The Institute arrived with a rather large overload of matches but with a cup under its arm. Also, they need victories in the National League, because in this tour they can tie with Boca, San Lorenzo and El Marrón. On the Ciclón side, they will return to Roberto Pando to be local against Quimsa, both want to climb to the top and for that reason it will be a clash of titans.
