Argentina 28, San Martín Corrientes 18
Argentina took on San Martín Corrientes in the Liga A on October 11th, 2026, and secured a 28-18 victory at home. The result leaves the hosts in 19th place with seven wins from 36 games, while the visitors remain 12th on 17 victories. By then, the gap between the sides was clear enough.
Argentina shot 65 per cent from the field, converting 30 of their attempts, while San Martín Corrientes managed 50 per cent with 33 successful shots. The hosts dominated the boards with 43 rebounds to 31, and their 27 defensive rebounds helped keep the visitors out of rhythm. And here's the thing — San Martín Corrientes had more assists with eight to four, but the extra ball movement didn't translate into points.
The visiting side was sharper from distance, hitting ten three-pointers against six for Argentina. But the visitors also committed more fouls with 20 compared to 19, and their free-throw shooting was poor, making only three of seven attempts. To be fair, Argentina converted 16 of 23 from the line, which kept them in control when the game tightened up.
San Martín Corrientes had more steals with ten to seven, showing some defensive activity, but Argentina's five blocks and 16 offensive rebounds gave them second chances. The visitors' nine offensive rebounds were not enough to offset the hosts' dominance inside. Turnovers were level at 12 each, so neither side was careless with possession.
Argentina's recent form had been mixed, with losses to Atanis and Ferro, while San Martín Corrientes had just suffered a heavy defeat to Racing de Chivilcoy, losing 123-126. This result ended the visitors' momentum and extended Argentina's struggle to find consistency. The hosts now have 29 defeats to their name and face an uphill battle to climb the table.
The final scoreline reflects a game decided by efficiency rather than volume. Argentina made the most of their opportunities, particularly from the free-throw line and on the offensive glass. San Martín Corrientes had the better shooting percentages from beyond the arc, but the weaker interior presence cost them. The visitors will need to address their rebounding and free-throw shooting before their next fixture.
