Colónias Gold beat Deportivo Amambay 80:72 in the LNB on Saturday evening, 23 August 2026. The home side kept their composure through the final quarter and sealed the win on their own floor. It was a tight contest from the opening tip-off, and by then you could see where the momentum would shift.
Colónias Gold built a small cushion in the second period, shooting well from the perimeter and converting free throws when it mattered. Deportivo Amambay answered with a run of their own, but the hosts refused to let the gap widen. And here's the thing — it was the defensive stops that decided the game, not the scoring bursts.
The visitors kept knocking on the door in the third quarter, pushing the pace and forcing turnovers. Colónias Gold held every card they had, switching between man-to-man and zone to disrupt the rhythm. To be fair, Deportivo Amambay earned their shooting opportunities through hustle, but the shots didn't fall consistently enough.
Colónias Gold recorded 26 successful field goals from 62 attempts, plus 22 free throws from 29 chances. Deportivo Amambay managed 21 field goals from 55 shots and 21 free throws from 31 attempts. The home side also pulled ahead on the boards with 34 rebounds to 30, though the difference came from offensive glass — 13 to 9 — where they extended possessions.
In the table, Colónias Gold remain third after 14 games with 10 wins and 4 losses. Deportivo Amambay stay fifth with 6 wins and 8 defeats. The result does not change either position, but it extends the home side's run and leaves the visitors looking for consistency in the second half of the season.
