ADJUSTED TRIUMPH OF OLIMPIA IN THE PREMIERE
The 2022 Federal League began and Olimpia debuted with the right foot in the “División Entre Ríos” after beating Ferro de Concordia 74-73, at the Humberto Pietranera stadium, behind Nicolás Agasse‘s 21 points. In the visitor, Joaquín Obregón scored 24.
The start of the match both casts were hesitant, typical of a debut, and this was reflected in the scoreboard in the first three minutes with a 6-5 in favor of the host. Agasse took the post and led the azulgrana with medium and long-distance shots, allowing him to make a gap in the electronics (15-8), although Ferro was able to react thanks to Obregón, who was intractable with 11 goals in the boy, to cut the distance. Olimpia took the partial 21-18.
The visit quickly equalized and the match became even at the beginning of the second segment, somewhat erratic and with good defenses in the passage. Through Tomás Botta and Valentín Sánchez, with two bombs, Olimpia was ahead by eight units on the scoreboard (30-22) and, from then on, the Expreso woke up, lowered the host’s scoring and closed the gap, remaining only three goals (34-31). On a blow-by-blow basis, CAO managed to close better and went into the long break, winning 39-33.
The tone of the duel in the complement did not change too much, starting goal by goal. Emiliano Lipreri led the visit with five consecutive points and Ruiz Moreno did the same in the local cast, maintaining a margin of seven points. Obregón nailed a triple and it seemed that Ferro would reduce even more, but none of that happened: Schunk answered and Ruiz Moreno again to get a maximum eleven (54-43). Changing, like all the development, those led by Martín Segovia felt the slap, left the host without scoring and reacted with a partial 9-0 to get within shot of equality (54-52). Olimpia did not allow their rival to take the lead, a triple by Agasse, a run by Ruiz Moreno and a difference of six to lower the curtain in the third period (61-54).
Bomb by bomb, that’s how the final room started. Olimpia maintained a gap of ten points; however, after a timeout for Segovia, Ferro adjusted his defense and found the spaces and comfortable shots to hurt his opponent, having Ignacio Claris as the main weapon to score a resounding 10-0 and equalize everything (68-68). The nervousness began to be noticed and with it, the unforced losses that allowed the visit to gain more confidence and stay in the blow by blow. In an open and exciting ending, Facundo Carulla converted from the line and gave CAO the slightest advantage, with Ferro having the last word, but Gustavo Agasse’s men defended well and celebrated in front of their people.
