It was an afternoon of surprises today in El Fortín, where Villa Miter added its second success in a row, by beating the debutant Sansinena, for the second date of the Federal A Tournament.
The tricolor, which lost 2 to 0 until 63 minutes, ended up winning 3 to 2 and extended its undefeated record at home to 25 games.
The winning goals? Gabriel Jara – of a superlative level – and defender Nicolás Ihitz, who scored the first double of his career, crowning the task in the 42nd minute.

But to understand why the people of Villa ended up celebrating the 20th victory of the last 25 times they went to their field, it is advisable to go in parts. Because everything really happened…
The first big surprise of the afternoon came from Sansinena, who won 2-0 in 21 minutes and caught everyone’s attention. Those present and those who heard the news from somewhere far away.
Taking advantage of a goal against Manchafico and a great play by Joaquín Parra, Tripero had been 100% effective and almost in the blink of an eye he enjoyed a dream advantage, in his debut of the season (he postponed the first date before Olympus).
Even more surprising if we take into account that the visit made its presentation to the public, with a team assembled entirely from scratch, against the clock at the end of the preseason and with a new coach.
In that sea of unknowns that was presented in the preview, some questions were quickly answered at the beginning of the game.
Behind, a tactical drawing with five defenders, two wingers (Medina on the left and Taverna on the right), two marking Jeldres (Navalón) and Jara (Ojeda) and a libero (Reynoso).
With that base in defense, from the beginning they showed a sacrificial and combative team, with contraction for the brand, which retreated well with three midfielders and two forward scorers.
The idea seemed clear, assume that Villa Miter would come with his weapons and endure it, and then try to find him unarmed behind in some counterattack or a defensive transition.
The tricolor, true to his style, took charge of the ball and searched from the start with the intensity that characterizes him on his field, against an opponent who tried to fight him for possession of the ball but played back.
Even the cast led by Carlos Mungo added a couple of clear chances at dawn, with a great overflow from Jara that almost pushed against Reynoso and a header from Jeldres that found a great response from Acosta.
But Manchafico’s goal in his own goal, after a free kick from the left, changed the tone of the afternoon.
For the first time in a long time, Villa found themselves at a disadvantage on their court and that was already a novelty.
A result that, logically, suited Sansinena perfectly, who dedicated himself to taking care of an advantage that was worth gold and placed even more responsibility on a team that, due to past, present and home team, started as a clear favorite in the afternoon.
Furthermore, at 21 minutes, Ihitz lost it in an exit and the former Liniers, Olimpo and Villa Mitre, Joaquín Parra, now captain, found an open defense and with the field at his mercy, he piled up players and defined a cross from the crescent.
A great goal. 2-0 and absolute surprise in El Fortín. With a dream start, Sansinena had gained a big advantage.
With everything already uphill, the local team continued searching with Jara as the determining player, but encountered some inaccuracies typical of an intensity that transformed into errors from time to time, Acosta’s good afternoon and some low individual levels.
Cerri’s, meanwhile, did not lose his form, he used the tricks of every visitor, and continued with his script. In fact, he showed several interesting facets thinking about the future.
However, we had to wait for the complement and see if Villa Miter could turn the tide and maintain an undefeated record on their court that they have maintained since August 2022 (3-0 defeat against Olimpo) or if Sansinena could maintain or extend the advantage.
But the reaction of the homeowner was present, once again with Jara as the offensive standard, and although without generating such clear chances, he cornered the visitor, who continued to hold back and with good interventions from his goalkeeper.
Everything began to change when the discount arrived and the energies were renewed in El Fortín: Jara connected with a good cross from Enzo González and made it 1-2 with a great header into the corner (2 goals in 2 dates).
Although the push for the discount passed, Tripero retreated too much and was never able to advance his lines, dangerously giving the ball to Villa, who went to look for him with the replacement: Schiavoni, Cérica and Fabello entered (at 57 minutes) and then Vivani (76m) by Hertel.
The process of the match was well marked, with one team holding on to an advantage gained minutes ago and the other going all or nothing to twist the score.
But the last chapter of the film had a main actor, because Villa Miter turned it around with a double in just five minutes.
From your scorer, from a forward? No, from his “3”: Nicolás Ihitz. Another surprise in the afternoon.
Not because of Nico’s goal, who had celebrated for the last time with the tricolor in the final for promotion against Güemesbut because he scored the first double of his career.
“El Loco”, who had already accumulated several chances from the first day, was the key that the tricolor found to turn the game around.
First he scored a header after a great cross from Cérica (with good income) and tied the score in the 83rd minute. He barely celebrated and quickly looked for the ball to go for something more than a tie.
Then, at 87, he scored in a great way after lowering it on his chest entering the six-yard box, after a free kick from the right.
It was 3 to 2 and a crazy celebration for Nico, who closed a “crazy” afternoon full of surprises at El Fortín.
