Colombia, who achieved an epic triumph in Managua on Sunday, is now preparing for a major challenge on Monday, when in front of Argentina with the intact dream of going around.
The selection comes from beating Nicaragua 89-86 with an unforgettable comeback and keeps alive the illusion of moving to the next phase of the Americanup, something that has never achieved.
The key triumph against Nicaragua
The team reacted after the hard drop in the debut against the Dominican Republic and showed character in a match full of tension.
The main protagonist was Hansel Atance, who dazzled with 26 points and eight triples.
Beside him, Romario Roque contributed 17 units and an outstanding efficiency, while Braian Angola and Cristian Solís were key in defense and rebounds. The last room was sealed the comeback and gave a sample of the maturity of the team, which knew how to keep the head cold in the most difficult moments.
Party schedule against Argentina
With this victory, Colombia arrives at the third day with the intact illusion.
The next challenge will be this Monday against Argentina, which accumulates a triumph and a defeat.
The game will be played at 4:40 pm (Colombian time), with DirecTV Sports transmission, and could mean the historic pass to the second round or, failing that, the classification as one of the best third parties.
