Racing de Chivilcoy — San Martin Corrientes: 126:123, Liga A

Racing de Chivilcoy secured a 126-123 victory over San Martín Corrientes in the Liga A on October 9, 2026. The hosts held off a determined challenge to maintain their position in the lower half of the table. It was a game decided by fine margins and shooting efficiency.

Racing dominated from the outside, hitting 19 three-pointers compared to their opponents' 14. By then, the momentum had clearly shifted in favour of the home side. They also controlled the pace with 25 assists against just 13 for the visitors. The shooting accuracy was identical at 40 successful field goals each, but volume told a different story.

We had backed the home side to win, offering 55 per cent confidence in that outcome. The prediction came true, a result driven by their efficiency from beyond the arc.

San Martín won the battle on the boards with 51 rebounds to Racing's 35. The visitors grabbed 16 offensive rebounds, creating second-chance opportunities. And here's the thing: those extra possessions kept them within striking distance despite the shooting disparity. Racing managed only 7 offensive rebounds in comparison.

Racing protected the ball much better, committing only six turnovers to 14 for the guests. The visitors also struggled with discipline, picking up 28 personal fouls. This inefficiency ultimately cost them the chance to extend the lead further.

The win keeps Racing in 14th place after 14 victories from 36 games. San Martín remain in 12th spot with 17 wins. To be fair, the visitors have not won since April, which makes this narrow defeat less surprising.
