The cast of Sáenz Peña returns to Corrientes with the aim of reversing the recent results in the province. The novelty, the return of the young Francisco Ferraro after passing through the U18 National Team.
Strengthened by its first victory of the season, Acción will seek this Thursday to accentuate the recovery inside Corrientes when at 10 p.m. they visit AMAD de Goya, for the fifth day of the Federal Basketball League, NEA Division. Arbitration will be by Ramón Villalba and César Bajeneta, with Omar Mónaco as technical commissioner.
The neighboring province has not yet given satisfaction to the Central Chaco team, as it has suffered defeats against Colón at the start of the competition (79-72), and then against El Tala due to administrative irregularities (20-0) that have prevented it from add any point.
For this occasion, the cast led by Roberto Martínez will be able to count on forward Francisco Ferraro, after having been part of the CAB National U18 Camp in La Rioja, which made it impossible for him to be in the duel on matchday four against Sarmiento. That game marked the first win for the Saenzpeñenses, by a clear 87 to 67.
The AMAD goyanos come from being released and previously prevailed in the “Juan Antonio Faturo”, the same stage where they will appear this time, over El Tala by 96 to 82, in what meant their only victory so far. Previously they ran into Regatas Resistencia at home (70-61) and against Colón as a visitor (74-65).
The team led by Juan Humberto López Ríos has in its squad the pivot from Salta Maximiliano Torino, who was part of Acción a few seasons ago, and has just been the top scorer for his team with 26 points, averaging 13.3 per game.
After this commitment, “Celeste” will have six games in March, of which four will be played by Roque Sáenz Peña in the Presidency. On the 2nd of that month they will host San Martín de Curuzú Cuatiá at the “Arena Uncaus”, and then they will face Tokio (W 6/3), Hindú (L 11/3), Regatas (V 16/3), Colón (L 3/24) and El Tala (L 3/26).
