Fuerza Regia de Monterrey secured an 89:101 victory over Santos in the LNBP on Thursday. The away side completed the result with a comfortable margin, extending their recent momentum at the expense of the hosts. The match took place on 11 September 2026 at Santos' home court.
Santos arrived with mixed recent results, having lost three of their last five outings. They dropped to 89 points against a Fuerza Regia side that had shown resilience in their previous encounters, including a narrow 75:76 defeat to Abejas. The hosts cannot afford another slip if they wish to stabilise their position.
Fuerza Regia came into the fixture with uneven form, alternating between wins and losses. They had previously overcome Lobos Platados in a 91:90 encounter before falling short to Abejas. The away end never stopped, pressing for a result that would validate their recent approach.
The final scoreline reflected a game that was decided by the visitors' ability to capitalise on opportunities. Santos found no answer to the away side's consistency, particularly in the moments that mattered. A fourth straight loss for the hosts would be a concern, though this result does not complete such a run.
The outcome shifts the balance slightly in the LNBP standings, with Fuerza Regia adding to their tally while Santos' position becomes more precarious. The goal difference tells a similar story — 12 points separate the two sides, and that gap is not trivial. There is no value left at that number when you are chasing consistency.
