Atletico Mitre de Santiago del Estero 0–3 Los Andes
Estadio Aurinegro, Santiago del Estero — June 15, 2026

Los Andes delivered a statement victory on the road, dismantling Atletico Mitre 3–0 in a Round 15 fixture of the 2026 Argentine Primera Nacional season. The result strengthened Los Andes’ push toward the promotion playoff spots, while Mitre were left to rue another frustrating performance on home soil.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Los Andes imposed themselves with quick passing and aggressive pressing. Mitre struggled to find rhythm in midfield, and the visitors capitalised ruthlessly. The first goal arrived in the 23rd minute when a well-worked corner found the head of central defender Lucas Fernández, who powered the ball past the helpless Mitre goalkeeper.

Los Andes doubled their advantage just before half-time. A swift counter-attack saw winger Martín Ríos cut inside from the left and curl a precise shot into the far corner, leaving the home defence flat-footed. Mitre, lacking creativity in the final third, failed to register a single shot on target in the first half.

Second-Half Dominance

The second period followed a similar pattern. Mitre attempted to push forward but left gaps at the back. Los Andes made them pay in the 67th minute when substitute striker Julián Acevedo latched onto a through ball, rounded the keeper, and slotted home to make it 3–0. The home crowd grew restless as Mitre’s attacks fizzled out without producing a genuine scoring chance.

Key Performers

• Lucas Fernández (Los Andes) — Dominant in defence and dangerous from set pieces, scoring the opener.
• Martín Ríos (Los Andes) — A constant threat on the wing; his goal and assist were the difference.
• Julián Acevedo (Los Andes) — Came off the bench and finished clinically.
• Mitre defense — Overrun repeatedly, with particular struggles against pace on the counter.

Standings Impact

The victory lifted Los Andes into the top six of the Primera Nacional table, keeping them firmly in contention for a promotion playoff berth. For Mitre, another home defeat leaves them hovering just above the relegation zone, with mounting pressure on manager Diego Sosa to arrest the slide.

Los Andes will look to build on this momentum when they host Gimnasia de Mendoza next weekend, while Mitre face a difficult trip to league leaders San Martín de Tucumán.
