The initial setting indicated that Cordón-Aguada in Cordón and Peñarol-Biguá in the Palacio Cr. Gastó Guelfi would be played, like the rest of the matches, at 9:00 p.m. But due to a possible crossover between the Mirasol and Aguatera fans, the Uruguayan Basketball Federation (FUBB) decided to advance Cordón-Aguada half an hour.

Let’s go upstairs Gerardo. As a security officer at the FUBB, you can’t say that, let’s go upstairs.
Don’t be a fighter, it’s a setback that we can’t have two games two blocks away.
