Buenos Aires, March 6 (NA) -- Pampas XV won with a lot of work by 25 to 20 against Capibaras XV and obtained its second victory in the Super Rugby Americas to stay within the Top 4 that will advance to the next round. With the tries of Ignacio Bottazzini, Santiago Cordero and Santiago Pernas, the Buenos Aires franchise got four gold points that keep it alive in the tournament, while the Litoral franchise, debutant in this tournament, fell for the first time in the competition. Pampas started the match with great intensity from the kick-off and dominated the first minutes, and that initial pressure quickly translated into the first try of the night, when the hooker Ignacio Bottazzini reached the in-goal after an effective line-maul. However, the Litoral team reacted as time went by and managed to settle into the game, taking advantage of several errors by the local team, although defenses prevailed for much of the first stage, the visiting team found a reward on the last play before halftime, with a try from fly-half Ignacio Doglani that allowed them to go to the locker room ahead 8-7. In the second half, the game continued even, but the Buenos Aires team struck again thanks to debutant Santiago Cordero, who scored after a collective play. Then came another local conquest with a remarkable individual play from Santiago Pernas, but even so, the visiting team stayed in the game thanks to the precision of Doglani with his foot, which maintained a slight advantage for much of the second half. In the final minutes, and despite having one man less, Bautista Farisee hit two penalties in front of the posts to put his team 25-20 ahead. The Tucuman squad is another of the tournament's contenders as it did not lose in the first two rounds and faced Dogos XV at the end of this match at the Club Atlético San Isidro.
