The Argentine team consolidated their victory from the second quarter, since the first ended up losing 18-17. The Albiceleste team’s first nine points came from its greatest figure, Facundo Campazzo, on his return to Mar del Plata, where he is Peñarol’s idol.

And precisely from his hand -the current player of the Red Star of Belgrade- began to build the victory: the first half ended 40-31 in favor of the “albiceleste”. The development was again leveled with the start of the second half, which would end in a close partial in favor of the hosts, which would slightly increase the difference for a third quarter close with Argentina up 61- 50.

But despite the fact that the difference was not so great, there was already a feeling of consummate victory for the fans who filled the “Malvinas Argentinas” at the start of the last quarter, in which their palms reddened again to applaud a Campazzo who established himself as the figure of the night with a double-double, converting 13 points and delivering 10 assists. The other goalscorer with the same amount was Nicolás Brussino.

Now the scenario for Argentina to go straight to the World Cup via Group E is as follows: the team led by Pablo Prigioni not only had to beat the Canadians, who were already ranked and appeared without their NBA players, but also Puerto Rico o Mexico lose their respective commitments as visitors to Brazil and Colombia. But if the Central Americans were the closest to succumbing, after a great game they ended up beating the Brazilians 92-90, while the Mexicans outscored the Colombians by almost 60 points: 113-54.

In this context, Argentina now have eight wins against three defeats, just like the Dominican Republic, who last night comfortably won Panama 93-67 as visitors, although they rank fourth based on their gap. of +83 points. . The first three in each zone, plus the best fourth, qualify for the World Cup. In the other group, the fourth is Puerto Rico with 7-4 and a difference of +10, waiting for its last match against the weak Colombia (3-8). They also have 7-4 Brazil (+168, close with the United States) and Mexico (+39, go with Uruguay).

Thus, everything will be defined Sunday at 9:10 p.m., still at the Mar del Plata Sports Center, facing the Dominican Republic. A new victory will give the ticket to the national team without depending on any other result.
