Ateneo Inmaculada pull off unforgettable comeback to beat Unión | OneFootball

The Saturday afternoon in the city of Santa Fe was dominated by the Ateneo Inmaculada field, where the only match scheduled for the fourth round of the Clausura tournament of the Santa Fe Football League took place. The team led by Agustín Oliver put on a real show against Unión, who arrived with the intention of adding points to get into the top conversation. Finally, the local team took the three points after reversing a story that seemed settled: they were losing 0-2 and won 3-2 in a performance that excites their fans.

The match started with Unión dominating, who struck early and surprised the home team. The visitors showed decisiveness and took advantage of Ateneo's defensive doubts to take the lead. First, with a collective play that ended up in the net due to the local passivity, and shortly after, with a shot that left the goalkeeper with no chances. Thus, with just half an hour played, Tatengue found a two-goal advantage that seemed to give them peace of mind to manage the game.

However, Ateneo did not give up. With drive, attitude and some football, they began to approach the opponent's goal. The discount came at the right time, with a right-handed shot from Báez that gave the team hope and ignited the breath of the few fans who came to accompany. With that momentum, the locals went to the break with the feeling that there was still a lot to play.

In the second half, Oliver's men came out determined to strike. The tie was forged through Monella, who captured a ball in the area and sent it to save for the delirium of his teammates. That goal was a blow for Unión, who was surprised by the rival reaction and began to retreat on the field.

The finishing touch came with the signature of Juan Chiaraviglio, who appeared at the hottest moment of the match to sentence the definitive 3-2. With composure and hierarchy, the forward crowned the comeback and unleashed joy in the local fans, who celebrated as a special victory due to the context and the magnitude of the rival.

Ateneo was able to overcome adversity and showed character in a match that can mark them from here on out. It was not easy to come back from a 0-2 against a team like Unión, but determination, desire and effectiveness at the right times made the feat possible. The final whistle found the players hugging, the fans applauding and a coaching staff that, with patience, begins to see results in a championship that still has a lot ahead.

The weather accompanied the day, and although attendance was scarce, those present took away the satisfaction of having witnessed a high-voltage football spectacle. Ateneo added three vital points and left behind an irregular start that had them worried. Now, with this emotional momentum, they will try to continue building a path of prominence in the Clausura.

Unión, on the other hand, left with anger and the feeling of having let slip a match that seemed controlled. They will have to recover quickly, because the tournament does not give respite and the next date will find them with another demanding commitment.

The Santa Fe Football League had a special appointment this Saturday: a single match that delivered plenty of emotions. Ateneo took the victory and recognition for their grit, courage and conviction. An afternoon that will remain in the memory of their fans, who celebrated a victory that is worth much more than three points.
