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.

The Cordón Club has already ordered the damages caused to be fixed and they will report the events with videos from the security cameras of the place as evidence (they will be sent to the Federation). As reported in Pure basketball from Radio Sport 890, there were police officers on the corner of Galicia and Minas, instead of Galicia and Magallanes, streets that separate both gyms.
Nothing else happened.
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.
