First defeat of league's leader Valdivia (2-1) against Las Animas (2-1) 79-76 was the most important game of the last round. Las Animas forced 20 Valdivia turnovers. It was a good game for Argentinian point guard Enzo Amado (183-1995) who led his team to a victory with 19 points and 4 steals. Canadian forward Emanual Shepherd (203-1995, college: Southern) contributed with 14 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. American Lenell Henry (203-1998, college: Alcorn St.) answered with 24 points and 6 rebounds (went 8 for 8 at the free throw line) for Valdivia.

Very important is a road loss of Espanol (1-2) against Univ.Catolica (2-1) on Friday night. Visiting Espanol was crushed by Univ.Catolica in Santiago 87-62. It was a great evening for Brazilian center Pedro Leopoldino (206-1998) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 13 points and 12 rebounds. Tristan Harper helped adding 20 points and 5 rebounds. The best for the losing side was Argentinian point guard Enzo Amado (183-1995) with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Univ.Catolica will play against Puente Alto (#4) on the road in the next round. Espanol will play against Los Leones to get more than just one victory in their record.
An interesting game for Colo Colo (2-1) which hosted in Santiago Puente Alto (1-2). Colo Colo managed to get a 8-point victory 67-59. It was an exceptional evening for Francisco Bravo who led the winners and scored 14 points and 8 rebounds. Colo Colo's coach Ernesto Menchaca used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games.
