SOL finally got its game rythm in defense to beat Libertad. The Feliu's BOYS trained to playing strong defense, finally could impose their game path to win the only team undefeated team Libertad.

It is remarkable to say that Libertad lost Richard Ozuna due to knee ligaments and Dany Perez also out for a couple of games due to a not published injury.

For SOL , Edgar Riveros and Nelson Peralta (198-F-88) had great performances . Peralta by leading in scoring, Riveros by giving rythm and organizing th game to its teammates.

Even though Felius philosophy is always to put their opponent under 70 points, this time Libertad netted 78 but SOLs offense responded scoring 86. A difference pf 8 points well consolidated, my players are getting ruthm said FELIU at the end of the game. It is also very important to mention that Jose Fabio (200-F-77) is already practicing with Sol. The argentinian , paraguayan naturalized is going to have its debut next game.

Not well worked from the beggining, this METRO tournament has not brought up anything remarkable for the 2013 season.

The presence of new team CRISTO REY among the 12 teams is probably the most important news for the beggining of the season.

Campo Alto has hired Anderson Villamayor (190-F-80)r, Miguel Mora and Sergio Lpez from Felix Perez.

Felix Perez will play with a junior team due to lack of budget.

Cerro hired Brizuela, Toto Lopez, Hugo Paredes and Ival LaFuente; they complete their team with Miguel Bareiro (16), Mathias Vigo (16) and Freddy Sanchez (17). Some important manager from last season champ told Latinbasket.com that they are also struggling with the budget because the soccer team is at the bottom in soccer tournament.

Only Libertad and Sol, as traditionally have properly re inforced their own teams. Chino Sosa and Richard Ozuna went to LIbertad; on the other side of the town SOL hired Giorgio Sequera, re signed Luis Ljubetic and Aldo Acosta as well as Nelson Peralta.

Ciudad Nueva is working well in lower divisions, they have a couple of good players that will give new legs to the team.

Olimpia has a very young team also, they did not hired anyone with big name but could be a team to consider considering they won last years COMUNEROS CUP.
