The weekend of the National League closed with the victory of Olimpico de La Banda against Instituto, in the semifinals of the National League. The rivalry has high points performance from both teams, at different times. The good work of the locals in the second quarter ended up giving them a small margin to finish the celebration 78 to 70, which put this story 2 to 2.

The first few minutes were a display of nervousness and mistakes on the part of both teams. Many minutes passed until the first field conversions came, and the dynamics went up. But in this dynamic, Gatti’s team is the fastest organized. By pure bombing, with different scoring hands and pressing close to the rim, they got significant distances. The maximum is 19, but there is an Institute that has a lot to improve for the second half.

Returning from the locker room, Instituto came out to ask for qualification for the final. Cosolito and Pomoli were in charge of leading Albirroja’s offensive. With patience and great defensive intensity in the first line, they closed the gap and were able to turn the score around to take the lead with just a few minutes left. The departure of the former Quimsa due to five fouls is a severe blow for La Gloria, where the length of the squad is one of the keys. Huges’ absence hit the bandeños hard, but gave his teammates a boost.
