Unión's history with Sebastián Martínez

For Unión, the memory with Martínez is not an encouraging one. The referee has officiated them only once, on October 22, 2022, in a tough 4-1 home defeat against Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero.

That afternoon, Francisco González Metilli opened the scoring for the team from Santiago, Daniel Juárez temporarily equalized for the Tatengue, but then Renzo López appeared with a hat-trick that sealed the score at the 15 de Abril stadium.

Sebastián Martínez and his record with the Lobo

On the other hand, Gimnasia has a more favorable record with the referee. He has officiated them in five matches, with a balance of three wins, one draw, and one loss. The first encounter was on February 12, 2023, in a 0-0 draw against Banfield at the Florencio Sola stadium.

The last time he refereed them was on February 9 of this year, in Lobo's 3-0 thrashing of Godoy Cruz at El Bosque, with goals from Leonardo Morales and a brace from Rodrigo Castillo.

With these precedents on the table, Martínez will once again cross paths with Unión, who will be looking to put that bad memory behind them and earn points on a crucial afternoon, both in the fight to avoid relegation and in the battle to reach the playoff stage.
