Sportivo Belgrano — Bartolomé Mitre: 2:0, Torneo Federal A

Sportivo Belgrano secured a 2:0 victory over Bartolomé Mitre in the Torneo Federal A Winners Stage. The sixth round fixture took place on 30 August 2026. The hosts finally stopped the rot after a string of heavy defeats that had left them looking down.

G. Tarifa opened the account in the fifth minute. It was a simple finish but it broke the deadlock early. The visitors reacted poorly to the blow and by then they had already seen a yellow card waved at them. The game settled into a rhythm despite the early goal.

The tempo dropped as cautions accumulated at 19, 28, 40 and 50 minutes. A penalty was missed in the 53rd minute, a moment that should have swung momentum. To be fair, the defender held his ground when it mattered most.

G. Lesman capitalised on the pressure immediately after with a goal in the 54th minute. It was a crucial strike that put the result beyond doubt. And here's the thing, the away side looked short of ideas once that fell. The visitors struggled to respond to the setback.

Statistics showed the visitors dominated possession at 52 per cent and created more attacks. Yet Sportivo Belgrano were efficient, landing two shots on target compared to one. It is a stark contrast when many shots yield only one goal. The hosts managed to keep their structure intact despite the pressure.

The win lifts Sportivo Belgrano to eighth place with five points from six games. Bartolomé Mitre sit ninth with a single point after five matches. This result ends a tough run for the home side while extending the visitors' woes.
