El Ceibo secures historic first Liga Argentina victory

El Ceibo achieved its first victory in the Liga Argentina, defeating Bartolomé Mitre 76-68 in Posadas. The win marks a significant milestone for the San Francisco-based club in its second appearance in the national basketball second division.

Under the direction of coach Eduardo Blengini, El Ceibo established a 42-35 lead by halftime, driven by efficient ball movement and perimeter shooting. Key contributors included Tomás Cravero, Julián Eydallín, and Ulises Amaya.

Following the loss, Mitre coach Matías Martinho noted that the team struggled with offensive fluidity and shooting percentages, specifically citing low accuracy in three-pointers and free throws. Martinho emphasized the need for defensive regularity and stability as the team prepares for its upcoming match against Villa San Martin in Resistencia.
