During this day, Argentina and Uruguay faced each other in the closing match of group A, which defined the positions to advance to the next phase.
Both teams gave their maximum effort on the court with the goal of securing first place in the group and advancing to the semifinals. However, this dream was frustrated for the Uruguayans, as they were unable to reduce the gap on the scoreboard.
The Argentine team, with the presence of the historic Diego Simonet, was superior throughout the match and stood out for taking advantage of Uruguayan errors to counterattack with quick exits, quickly increasing the score. Thus, the first half ended in a partial score of 18 to 9.
During the second half, Uruguay could not get closer to Argentina but they did not give up. In any case, the match ended 43 – 18 in favor of the albiceleste, becoming the leader of group A.
For now, both teams are waiting for the results of the match between Brazil and Chile, a key match to define the semifinal matchup.
