The women’s basketball team Chile They fell to their counterpart from Cuba 68-48 and said goodbye to the option of obtaining medals in the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games.
After losing to Argentina in the previous match, the Chileans knew that it was all or nothing at stake against the Caribbean team. And despite the desire to try to impose themselves on their rival, the physical and game difference were decisive for Cuba to remain without problems with the match.
Although the first quarter ended with an 11-11 tie on the scoreboard, from then on the Cubans began to make a difference, winning 24-16 in the second, 10-7 in the third and 23-14 in the last.
“We were confident that we could win, it wasn’t like that. I feel sorry and a little angry because I expected to play better. It is what there is at the moment and now we only have to think about tomorrow. We could have given more anyway. Yesterday we could have beaten Argentina, but it wasn’t and the ‘we could’ is not valid,” commented Chilean Tatiana Gómez after the match.
Regarding Venezuela, the next rival, Gómez commented that “we have not yet analyzed or been told anything about Venezuela, but I think we are going to do well and that we are going to win. We will go with all our desire to achieve victory.”
