Atletico Pilar Dominates Ciudad de Campana in Argentina Liga B Clash

Atletico Pilar delivered a commanding performance on the road, defeating Ciudad de Campana 77-63 in an Argentina Liga B matchup on May 12, 2026. The visitors controlled the tempo from start to finish, building an early lead and never looking back in a game that highlighted their defensive discipline and balanced scoring.

Game Overview

Playing at Ciudad de Campana’s home court, Atletico Pilar seized momentum in the opening quarter, jumping out to a 22-14 advantage. The home side struggled to find consistent offense against Pilar’s aggressive man-to-man defense, which forced multiple turnovers and limited second-chance opportunities. By halftime, the lead had grown to 14 points, and despite a brief third-quarter rally from Campana, Pilar maintained control throughout.

Key Performances

• Atletico Pilar: A balanced attack saw four players reach double figures. Guard Lucas Fernandez paced the team with 18 points and 6 assists, while forward Martin Rios added 16 points and 9 rebounds. The bench contributed 24 crucial points, providing energy and depth.
• Ciudad de Campana: Center Juan Pablo Torres led the home team with 20 points and 11 rebounds, but he received little support from his teammates. The backcourt combination of Ignacio Diaz and Tomas Silva combined for just 14 points on 5-of-18 shooting.

Turning Points

The game’s decisive stretch came late in the second quarter. With Campana trailing by eight, Pilar went on a 12-3 run over the final three minutes before halftime, capped by a three-pointer at the buzzer from reserve wing Santiago Mendez. That pushed the lead to 40-26, and Campana never got closer than nine points in the second half.

Standings Impact

With the win, Atletico Pilar improves to 9-4 in league play, solidifying their position among the top four in the Argentina Liga B standings. Ciudad de Campana drops to 6-7, leaving them in the middle of the pack. Pilar’s defensive effort — holding Campana to 38% shooting — was the story as they continue to build momentum toward the postseason.

Both teams return to action later this week, with Atletico Pilar hosting Club Union and Ciudad de Campana traveling to face Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata.
