The Venezuelan national team remains undefeated after three appearances in the FIBA U-17 South American Championship to beat the Paraguayan hosts by a score of 65-60.

Lila's girls lost by 6 points with 1:31 left,” in a match that leaned to the owners of the UENO COP Arena in Asunción, however, that didn't stop them from scoring 12 points while their rivals barely scored one.

Once again, the Venezuelan team had to come from behind, after losing their initial dominance against the Guaraní, who were close to the feat in the fourth quarter.

Venezuela staged a spectacular comeback in the last period. With a six-point deficit, the national team adjusted its defense and took advantage of the spaces in attack to leave that room 16-17, sealing the victory by a difference of 5 points.

After these results, the Venezuelans will look to Brazil for their match in the final, while the Paraguayan women will do the same against Argentina this Saturday, October 25.
