San Lorenzo hosts the Fusion at the Roberto Pando Gymnasium for the National League. This is a victory for Quimsa who sits, for the moment, as a leader in isolation. And it also gave Ciclón its second straight defeat, losing in a week against Platense.
La Fusion wants to defend the title at all costs
With Boedo’s team at home, there was a match with few goals scored. Everything started in favor of the people from Santiago who strengthened their defense and caused the local team to make mistakes. A good Tayavek Gallizi (6 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals) was the key in the first quarter for the combined team’s advantage. But San Lorenzo woke up. And with the firing of Federico Grun (16 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal), they retired with a lead at halftime. The locals recovered and at halftime, they led by three points.
Unfortunately for Leo Costa’s men, Quimsa came back in the second half. Fabián Ramírez Barrios (17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals). This was the key in the third quarter for Fusion to achieve the clean and jerk and lead again with double-digit points. Despite not winning by ten or more, Ramella’s team kept the distance in the final period. They finished the match, leading by nine. Nine units that give you the fleeting pleasure of seeing everything from the top of the standings.
What’s next for you two?
Quimsa will continue its route in Buenos Aires, visiting a chaser, Boca Juniors. They will meet again after last season’s finals where Fusion kicked them out of the fields and now, they will face Bombonerita. While San Lorenzo will hit the road to have their match against Unión de Santa Fe at Ángel P. Malvicino. A Tatengue who needs victories and a Ciclón who doesn’t want to be left in the table will clash, both coming with consecutive defeats and this match will spoil one.
