Boca, Racing, Gimnasia and Estudiantes get Clausura semi-final refs | OneFootball

The semifinals of the Torneo Clausura not only have their protagonists defined, but now the Professional League has announced the referees for the two matches. Thus, it has been confirmed that Darío Herrera will be the referee for the match between Boca and Racing, while Facundo Tello will officiate the game between Gimnasia and Estudiantes.

After a few days of waiting, the Professional League confirmed the names of the referees. Thus, the Neuquén native Herrera will be present at La Bombonera, while Tello will be at El Bosque. Meanwhile, Silvio Trucco will be in charge of the VAR at Brandsen 805, while the responsible person in La Plata will be Lucas Novelli.

In this way, two of the three highest-profile referees in Argentine football will be the ones officiating the semifinal matches. Meanwhile, it seems that Nicolás Ramírez—the third on the list—appears to be the best-positioned to referee the final.

Herrera has officiated Boca twice this year. The last time was the 2-0 victory of Claudio Úbeda's team against Tigre, while the previous time was in the first semester against Newell’s, in a match that ended with a win for the Lepra by the same score. Meanwhile, he also officiated two matches with the Academia this year: the 2-1 defeat against the Matador and the 0-1 against Platense in the Apertura round of 16. In total, he has officiated Boca 39 times (20 wins, 11 draws, and 8 losses), while he has done the same with Racing in 30 matches (12 wins, 8 draws, and 10 losses). The detail? He expelled 13 Xeneize players and only 2 from the Academia.

As for Tello, he has officiated Gimnasia in 20 matches (6 wins, 4 draws, and 10 losses), while he has officiated Estudiantes 22 times (10 wins, eight draws, and four losses). Curiously, Tello was chosen to referee the Platense classic in the Clausura, a match that ended with a 2-0 victory for the Pincha.

Thus, the complete referee groups for the two matches will be as follows:

Boca vs. Racing

Referee: Dario Herrera Assistant Referee 1: Cristian Navarro Assistant Referee 2: Sebastian Raineri Fourth Referee: Sebastian Martinez VAR: Silvio Trucco AVAR: Fabrizio Llobet Gimnasia vs. Estudiantes
