Lamolina, a boost for Unión ahead of clash with Lanús | OneFootball

Unión already knows the referee who will officiate the postponed match from the second round of the Torneo Clausura against Lanús. The AFA appointed Nicolás Lamolina for this Thursday’s game at the 15 de Abril stadium, and the track record with the referee gives reason for optimism among Unión fans.

The record shows that Lamolina has officiated Unión 23 times, with a highly favorable balance: 10 wins, nine draws, and just four losses. The match against El Granate will be the 24th with the Buenos Aires-born referee in charge.

Unión’s first match with Lamolina was on November 8, 2013, in the memorable 4-4 draw against Boca Unidos in the Primera B Nacional. Since then, the referee has been present in important matches, such as the 2014 promotion campaign and several notable wins in the Primera División.

Among the most memorable results are the 1-0 win over Racing in Santa Fe in 2016, the victory against Gimnasia de La Plata in 2017, the historic 2-1 win over River at the Monumental in 2019 and, more recently, the 4-1 victory over Independiente Rivadavia, which was the last time Lamolina officiated the red-and-white side.

The outlook is different for Lanús. El Granate has been officiated by Lamolina on 12 occasions and has a negative record: four wins, two draws, and six losses. In addition, they conceded more goals than they scored and racked up several red and yellow cards under his officiating.

Although statistics do not guarantee results, the record with Nicolás Lamolina appears to be a positive sign for Unión, which will look to make the most of that precedent to secure its first win in the Torneo Clausura and reassert itself at the 15 de Abril stadium.
