The Xeneize surpassed Amancay with a great defensive work. It was 66-44 for the local team, which was cut only at the top of the standings in the Cuyo Zone.
It was the great night of Rioja Juniors Basket, facing an unknown Amancay, who found no reaction throughout the game, which ended in a local celebration. The Xeneize cast struck another blow in the 2022 season of the third category of national basketball.
With a good turnout from the public, the match was played on the pitch of the Riojano Club and the local team won a valuable victory, which allows them to continue in the lot of those who rule the standings, with their sights set on the classification to the next phase of the Federal League.
The cast led by Enrique Rodríguez showed a good version in defense, totally lowering the scoring of their rival and taking advantage of the ineffectiveness of an Amancay that was far from the level it has been showing.
The victory of the local cast was completed with partials of 20-12, 15-7, 22-14 and 9-11, where Juan Meza stood out, author of 20 points, while for Amancay the top scorer was Rodrigo Campos, who contributed 12.
With this result, Rioja Juniors has 21 points in the table and is the only leader, although with a couple of games more than their followers. The squad led by Rodríguez will not have much rest, since this Friday they will also face another match at home, when they receive Unión, starting at 9:00 p.m., on the pitch of Club Riojano.
