By date 4 of the URBA Top 12 Macro Cup presented by Zurich, Alumni They fought until the end and won 18-13 against Regatas de Bella Vista. In this way, those from Tortuguitas extend their undefeated record even further and remain in the fight for the lead with SIC. I relived the game on Star+.
The heat of the Bella Vista fans did not diminish the impetus of an Alumni who went to the northwest to continue consolidating his undefeated. Despite an initial offensive search by Regatas, the timing of the attack was managed by Tortuguitas. The penalty in the first minute of Just Camerlinckx was totally overshadowed by the try of Thomas Bivort. The hooker, after an attack focused on the short game, received the ball after a line and commanded the maul to support. The locals offered a brave defense but that at times was insistent and committed several penalties. One of them, an intentional knock on of Alejo Barreraleft Regatas with one less for ten minutes.
Contrary to a logical sequence of events, the team that spent most of the first 40 minutes defending ended up taking over the epilogue of the first part. A bad pass in attack by Alumni was enough for Regatas to get into the rival field. There it was the turn of those from Tortuguitas to defend tooth and nail. He also had to suffer the yellow card Manuel Mora after a significant number of successive violations. Finally Regatas would end up forcing the penalty try for go to the first half 10-7 on Alumni, who suffered a second yellow card, this time to Thomas Bivort.
The complement did not lose intensity but added several inaccuracies in both teams. The attacks often ended in frustration due to unforced errors. It was in this scenario that the kickers were present, who made the most of each progress that was being overshadowed. Joaquín Díaz Lussi in duplicate and Justo Camerlinckx converted their penalties so that the scoreboard moved and the game was tied at 13-13.
What seemed to be heading towards a draw with a bitter taste for both teams gave an outcome full of emotions. After two mistakes by Justo Camerlinckx, Alumni took over the position and stopped in the rival field in what was going to be the last play of the game. After identifying the space at the top, the game turned there to find it Ramon Fuentes. The winger lowered his head and flew to the flag to support it and thus give it the victory for Tortuguitas by 18-13 over Regatas.
