Long-Awaited Victory for Cañuelas
After more than three months without a win in the Second Division, Cañuelas finally celebrated a triumph on Saturday at Santa Cruz and Pellegrini. The team overcame San Miguel wiht a final score of 23-14, marking their first victory after ten consecutive losses.
the team demonstrated strength across all positions, breaking a spell that had lingered since their last win on June 14th against La Salle, 15-13. This win keeps Cañuelas firmly in contention to avoid the last position in the league and the subsequent “promotion” playoff against a team from the Third Division - a position they currently hold as the antepenultimate team.
Lineup and Match Details
the Cañuelas team that faced San Miguel consisted of: Rodrigo Gómez, Nicolás Blanco, Mario Sosa, Facundo Cabrera, Lucas Sosa, Matías Gauna, Nicolás Palmieri, Martín Godoy, Juan Pablo Lening, Cristian Penna, Niyen Liniewicz, alejandro Brocardo, Manuel Tellechea, Axel Gongora, and Bruno Aloé Tripodi.
the intermediate team, however, suffered a defeat, losing 21-7.
Looking Ahead
Next weekend, the Matías Minasi-led team will travel to face Del Sur, the current league leaders who have already secured promotion to the first ‘C’ division.
