However, Panchi Barrera discounted for the Red Wings and scored Olimpia’s first points in the second boy. Then McGhee took center stage, who placed key units to get five points of rent (30-25).

Daniels was also important in scoring, finishing the first half with the same points as Galletto (9).

In the third boy the white man deepened the difference in the scoreboard with an offensive trident that had a great performance: between Galletto, Danridge and Daniels they accumulated 36 points until the closing of the third boy, where Nacional got nine points of rent.

In the last 10 minutes of the game, Nacional demonstrated its hierarchy and finished consolidating its victory with Galletto as the outstanding figure of the game.
