Basketball: Colón missed game two, Sanjustino won the Apertura | OneFootball

Sanjustino was crowned champion of the Apertura Tournament of the Santa Fe Basketball Association after Colón failed to show up for the second final of the series. The decisive game was scheduled to be played today, Tuesday, at 9:30 p.m. at the “Cuna de Matadores” stadium, but due to the visiting team’s absence, the match was awarded to the home side, sparking the title celebrations.

The drastic decision by the Sabalero squad not to travel to San Justo is the outcome of an institutional crisis that had come strongly to light during the week. Colón’s players had been protesting over unpaid salaries and the complete lack of response from the club’s leadership, a troubling economic and administrative situation that is currently shaking the institution in the provincial capital.

With this outcome settled unofficially in the offices but officially in sporting terms, the Matador claimed the highest honor in regional basketball without needing to play the second 40 minutes on its home court.
