In a tightly contested Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP) matchup on July 27, 2026, Fuerza Regia held off the Soles de Mexicali with a 95-89 victory at home. The win strengthened Fuerza Regia's position near the top of the standings, while Soles de Mexicali were left to rue a late-game breakdown after a resilient fight.
Match Overview
The game started at a high tempo, with both teams exchanging quick baskets. Soles de Mexicali came out sharp, using their perimeter shooting to build an early lead in the first quarter. However, Fuerza Regia responded with physical inside play and crucial stops, trimming the deficit by halftime. The turning point came in the third quarter, when the home side unleashed a 14-3 run to seize control. Soles de Mexicali battled back in the fourth, cutting the lead to just three points with two minutes remaining, but Fuerza Regia's experience and clutch free-throw shooting sealed the win.
