The match should have been played on Wednesday, but due to a problem beyond the control of the Gualeguaychú team, which by regulation should have kept the points, the Disciplinary Court of the Argentine Confederation gave a new opportunity to those from Núñez with the rescheduling of the meeting.
In the long run, the controversial ruling was in vain, because those led by Martín Pascal came out stronger in the face of injustice and with a thirst for revenge, they prevailed with authority in a packed River micro-stadium and at times with a hostile atmosphere for the defense.
After a first half favorable to the local team, in the second half Central brought out its best and brought the victory to the first team in the three-game series. In the opening quarter, River won by 23 to 21 and in the second they remained ahead by 16 to 14. The third quarter belonged to the “Rojinegro” by 17 to 11 and in the closing they won 19 to 12.
Leandro Quarroz scored 19 points plus 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 recoveries. Cristian Pérez, Mauricio Pané and Carlos Benítez Gavilán added 13 points each and Nicolás Nieto contributed 9 rebounds.
The second crossing will be at the José María Bértora stadium on Monday the 17th at 9:30 p.m. If necessary, the third playoff game will be played on Tuesday the 18th.
