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

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

After a few days of waiting, the Professional League confirmed the names of the referees. Thus, the Neuquén-born Herrera will be present at La Bombonera, while Tello will be at El Bosque. Meanwhile, Silvio Trucco will be in charge of VAR at Brandsen 805, while the official responsible 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, everything seems to indicate that Nicolás Ramírez—the third on the list—would be the best positioned to officiate the final.

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

As for Tello, he has officiated Gimnasia in 20 matches (6 wins, 4 draws, and 10 losses), while he has refereed Estudiantes on 22 occasions (10 wins, eight draws, and four losses). Interestingly, Tello was chosen to officiate the La Plata derby in the Clausura, a match that ended with a 2-0 win for Pincha.

Thus, the full referee teams for the two matches will be as follows:

Boca vs. Racing
