SCORING<\/p>\nLos Pampas and Los Dogos played out a classic in Buenos Aires on Saturday evening. The match went down to the wire with Los Dogos going 2-0 thus far in Super Rugby Americas (SRA) 2026. Los Cordobeses were 36-34 winning in a thriller.<\/p>\n
There was action throughout the contest. It did not take long to begin either as Los Dogos scored the opening try in just the second minute of play. Second-rower Valent\u00edn Gonz\u00e1lvez crashed over in the corner following a maul.<\/p>\n
Los Pampas came to life in response. Bautista Faris\u00e9, formerly of Pe\u00f1arol, opened the Buenos Aires team\u2019s account with a penalty on 14 minutes. Then, five minutes later Faris\u00e9 was adding more points after second-rower Rodrigo Fern\u00e1ndez Criado broke clear to score.<\/p>\n
The 10-5 lead was eroded in the second quarter. Los Dogos held firm on defense and scored twice. Flanker Aitor Bildosola and hooker Juan Gressing Revol each scored with Juli\u00e1n Hern\u00e1ndez converting. It made it a 19-10 score-line in favor of the visitors at half-time.<\/p>\n
Los Dogos gained an advantage early on int the second-half as Los Pampas\u2018 tight head Ramiro Berardi Calvo was yellow carded. Juli\u00e1n Hern\u00e1ndez took advantage by scoring a solo try and converting from a difficulty angle. With it, Los Cordobeses led 26-10.<\/p>\n
While still playing with a man down, Los Pampas clawed back with N8 Juan Pablo Bernasconi scoring and Baris\u00e9 converting. Then came a potential turning point as former Los Pumas 7\u2019s player, Agust\u00edn Fraga intercepted a Hern\u00e1ndez pass to score. Faris\u00e9\u2019s conversion made it a 26-24 scoreline after 54 minutes.<\/p>\n
Another twist in the contest followed with center Facundo Pueyrred\u00f3n scoring on 60 minutes. A Faris\u00e9 penalty came in response but Hern\u00e1ndez then cancelled it out with one of his own 10 minutes from full-time.<\/p>\n
Yet again, Los Dogos were not home and safe; rather, Los Pampas fought back with another try. Sharp play from Tob\u00edas Wade saw the former Los Pumas 7\u2019s player breaking clear and combining with Pumas winger Santiago Pernas. Faris\u00e9 converted for a two-point gap with five minutes remaining.<\/p>\n
Los Dogos looked to score two minutes from full-time but Los Pampas won a turn-over penalty. From there they kicked deep and set-up an attacking lineout. The defense held firm and won a turn-over penalty of their own to seal victory with time up.<\/p>\n
The agonizing defeat sees Los Pampas Frustrated while also quickly turning attention to competition leaders, Los Capibaras. The historic first-ever Buenos Aires vs Litoral professional rugby match will be a round three battle with Los Pampas at home. Los Dogos travel to Tucum\u00e1n for another derby as they take-on Los Tarucas.<\/p>\n
