Perfora was outstanding during the regular season and proved it in the quarterfinals of the Pre-Federation Basketball Tournament. El Verde defeated Argentino Petroleum 88-70 at La Cueva Stadium to sweep the series 2-0 and become the first team to advance to the semifinals.
With this result, it is also confirmed The Matadors will not be able to participate in the next Federal League. Since there are seven places in the main competition area The Orange team is ranked eighth and will not be able to improve their ranking.
We’ll have to wait until Wednesday for the other three keys. Independiente and Spanish Center repay favor with away win Now they will return to their own stadium and try to finish in the top four. El Rojo took Biguá 78-70, while Plottier’s Torito gave Roca no chance, beating him very clearly 89-63. So they kept up the regular season trend: the visiting team always won.
Another 1-1 series is between Del Progreso and Pacífico. Roquense won 89-85 Now they will return to Viejo Ramirez in the capital Neuquén to see who is still in the game.

**Interview with Coach Manuel Garcia of Perfora Following Their Stellar Quarterfinal Performance**
**Interviewer**: Thank you for joining us, Coach Garcia. Congratulations on Perfora’s impressive victory over Argentino Petroleum. What were the key factors that led to your team’s success in this quarterfinal series?
**Manuel Garcia**: Thank you! It was a fantastic team effort. I think our defense was the cornerstone of our success. We were able to disrupt their offensive flow and capitalize on their turnovers. Additionally, our team chemistry and communication on the court played a huge role in executing our game plan effectively.
**Interviewer**: Looking ahead, what challenges do you anticipate in the semifinals?
**Manuel Garcia**: Every team that reaches this stage is tough, but we will focus on maintaining our intensity and discipline on both ends of the floor. Our biggest challenge will be to stay hungry and not get complacent after this win. We have to keep pushing ourselves.
**Interviewer**: Last night, you had several standout performances, particularly from Agustín Sanchez. How important is it to have key players step up at crucial moments?
**Manuel Garcia**: It’s essential. Agustín has been instrumental for us, and when key players perform at their best, it elevates the entire team. It also gives confidence to the rest of the roster to contribute in their own ways. Consistent contributions from multiple players are vital as we move deeper into the tournament.
**Interviewer**: The news also confirmed that The Matadors won’t be participating in the next Federal League. Does that affect your team’s motivation going forward?
**Manuel Garcia**: Not at all. We can only control what we do on the court. We respect our opponents, and we know that every game is vital, regardless of external circumstances. Our focus is solely on performing our best and aiming for the championship.
**Interviewer**: The semifinals are approaching quickly. How is the team preparing for the upcoming challenges?
**Manuel Garcia**: We’re reviewing game footage, practicing set plays, and continuing to work on our defensive strategies. Mental preparation is just as important as physical training at this stage, so we’ll be emphasizing that with the players in the coming days.
**Interviewer**: Coach Garcia, we appreciate your time and insights. Best of luck in the semifinals!
**Manuel Garcia**: Thank you! We’re excited for what’s ahead.
