After the surprising defeat against Petroleros on the last date, the Expreso regained confidence and prevailed without mitigating factors against its executioner from the previous season, Hurricane of San Rafael, whom they defeated 77 to 65. The highlights of the Expreso were two old acquaintances: Francisco Staerkle and Gianfranco Bontorno.
After a study start, Staerkle took control of the game and began to climb the scoreboard to quickly take the lead by 10 points. Leyton and Muller appeared there to sign up for the net. Also the contributions of Sergio Cuellar below the board.
Alternating names and rotating positions, the break came with Godoy Cruz leading by 20, 46 to 26. There Gian Bontorno began to come into play, who was important for Expreso in both hoops.
The second part was for the host to manage the ball and run the clock. On his return to Balcarce 477, Godoy Cruz had the support of his people and in the last quarter, Sergio Peralta put a youth team in the box that closed the duel and was left with applause at the end.
Good triumph for Expreso that remains in the vanguard positions and on Tuesday will have a brave stop against Junín, the leader of zone B.
