Atlético Mitre and Central Norte played out a 2:2 draw in the Primera Nacional on Sunday, 30 August 2026. The match, part of Regular Season 27, finished with both sides taking a point apiece from a game that swung between lead and equalizer several times.
M. Machado opened the scoring for Atlético Mitre in the 41st minute, capitalising on a moment of space in the penalty area. J. Zarate responded quickly, levelled the scores just three minutes later at 44 minutes. To be fair, both goals came from the same spell of pressure, and neither defence had much time to set.
The second half saw Atlético Mitre take the lead through an own goal by M. Romero in the 85th minute. Central Norte refused to let it stand, and F. Borda found the net in stoppage time at 90+5 minutes. And here's the thing — the late drama meant neither side could claim they deserved more.
Substitutions came regularly from both camps. Atlético Mitre brought on F. Cabral early at 26 minutes, while Central Norte made a double change at 56 minutes for A. Bustinduy and M. Moravec. M. Rosales saw a yellow card at 47 minutes and was later substituted himself at 74 minutes. B. Mieres also went to the referee at 73 minutes before coming off at 79.
The statistics tell a strange story. Both sides registered zero attacks, zero corners, and zero possession in the data supplied. Atlético Mitre had three shots off target, Central Norte two. Neither team managed a shot on target despite four goals between them. Goal kicks were 14 to 9 in favour of the hosts, while throw-ins favoured the visitors 25 to 14.
The result keeps the two sides close in the table. Atlético Mitre sit 11th on 30 points from 27 games, Central Norte 13th on 29 points. Both teams have won six matches this season, but the hosts have two more draws. The draw extends Central Norte's run of unbeaten matches to three, while Atlético Mitre's recent form includes a heavy 0:4 defeat away at Deportivo Madrién.
