The final of the 2021 Super Cup was long in coming. You can already guess just by seeing the year to which it corresponds in a final that was played a year later and marked the title of Quimsa, who in Works won 88-69 against San Lorenzo to win the tournament (to one match) that was not played in 2019 and 2020 due to Covid-19, and in previous editions (2017 and 2018) he traveled to Boedo.
It is that San Lorenzo was the owner practically of the last five seasons, but since he was left without a wallet, its quality dropped, although the National League is developing quite well with a young squad that won 9 of 17 and was hit by the coronavirus.
Lucas Pérez had a good second quarter for San Lorenzo. (The league)
La Fusión got a kind of revenge against the five-time champion of the National League, that he had won the 2021 League final in five games. But the situation marks that the people of Santiago today are at another level, demonstrated by the mark of 14 wins in 17 league games, with five successes in a row, which places them at the top of the tournament.
The game was very clear from the start. Taking advantage of its dominance on the board, Quimsa was going to take the ball to the paint and San Lorenzo, try to prosper with the external launch. Thus, La Fusión achieved its first ten points, added to a triple by Cosolito, it went 13-5 (6-0 in rebounds), which forced Castiñeira to time out. The DT of the Cyclone asked for more attitude, and Pérez Tapia ended up saving him, with 11 goals in the fourth and 4-4 from the field (3-3 in triples). Acevedo had holed 9 (3-4 and 1-1) for Quimsa.
Acevedo, another intern who hurt in Quimsa (La Liga).
What happened in the second? From being nine down, San Lorenzo tightened much more in defense and Lucas Pérez’s shot increased (10). Quimsa, with a larger squad, took advantage of the rotation but fell asleep, until Anderson missed doubles. An unsportsmanlike behavior by Brussino and coach to DT Castiñeira generated seven points for the Raven, who even went to the front. Three free kicks by Baralle gave Quimsa the lead back (45-44) at halftime.
The third quarter depended on the most influential player in the match, by his appearances or disappearances. When he, Anderson, loosened up, Sandes became important in the paint, to the point of adding 14 and being key in the production of San Lorenzo. But when he got back on the field… the Yankee pivot (scorer with 21) broke it with 13 points in the quarter and unappealable defenses. For this reason, for the defense, because Acevedo also joined his teammate, and because Cuervo’s midfield did not contribute (only three points from Pérez Tapia), Quimsa achieved a definitive partial of 25-7 to put the first letters to the word champion.
In the last quarter, San Lorenzo did what he could, or what his energies allowed him, but the damage was done. For Anderson, for Quimsa to celebrate.
