CUBA vs Los Tilos

While the official data feed lacks minute-by-minute scoring details, the 44-29 scoreline tells the story of a high-scoring, open encounter. The combined 73 points well exceeds the historical H2H average of 56.0 points per match.

CUBA's 29 points were close to their seasonal average, but Los Tilos exploded for 44 — their highest tally in seven meetings (previously 42 in May 2026).

CUBA: Joaquín Yakiche, Tomás Anderlic, Francisco Garoby; Santiago Uriarte, Santos Cayol; Lucas Campion, Segundo Pisani, Benito Ortiz de Rozas; Félix Corleto, Francisco Figueroa Bunge; Bautista Casaurang, Marcos Elicagaray, Felipe de la Vega, Marcos Moroni; Tomás Passaro.

Los Tilos: Manuel Puertas, Hipolito San Sebastián, Facundo Maffei; Juan Blaiotta Lago, Bautista Gatti; Eliseo Chiavassa, Felipe Puertas, Felipe Bares; Marcos Albina, Joaquín Tuculet; Gastón Martínez Salgado, Tomás Fernández Armendariz, Thiago Bassagaisteguy, Ignacio Guichon; Bautista Santamarina.

Without minute-by-minute data the exact turning point is hard to pinpoint. However, having squandered a first-half lead in last week's 33-34 reverse, Los Tilos showed greater concentration over the full 80 minutes this time. The 15-point margin suggests a strong second-half performance that put the game beyond CUBA's reach.

With no official individual scorer data available, this was a collective team performance from Los Tilos. The attacking unit featuring Joaquín Tuculet and Eliseo Chiavassa — both of whom featured in the 42-33 win in May — set the platform. Full-back Bautista Santamarina and Tomás Fernández Armendariz anchored the backline with composure.

44 points – Los Tilos' highest points tally in seven H2H meetings with CUBA. The previous best was 42 in May 2026.

7 meetings – CUBA still lead the all-time series 5-2. The 2026 season series is tied 1-1: CUBA won 42-33 (9 May), Los Tilos replied 44-29 (29 August), with CUBA's 34-33 win in La Plata on 22 August sandwiched in between.

29 points – CUBA's second-lowest home score against Los Tilos.

73 total points – The highest-scoring game between these sides since 2021.

Los Tilos strengthened their position in the upper half of the table. After Matchday 18, they sat 6th with 47 points — level with the playoff places (top 6). The 33-15 home win over CASI in Round 19 followed by this 44-29 victory will have opened up some breathing room over the chasing pack.

CUBA remain in mid-table after occupying 9th (39 points after Round 18). Last week's impressive 34-33 away win at Los Tilos was not backed up — the team showing the inconsistency typical of a mid-table side.
