Lamolina, an encouraging omen for Unión before the Lanús clash | OneFootball

Unión already knows the referee who will officiate the postponed match from the second round of the Clausura Tournament against Lanús. The AFA appointed Nicolás Lamolina for this Thursday’s game at the 15 de Abril stadium, and the track record with the official is a source of optimism in the Tatengue camp.

The record shows that Lamolina has refereed Unión on 23 occasions, with a highly favorable balance: 10 wins, nine draws, and only 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 victories in the Primera División.

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

The outlook is different for Lanús. El Granate has been refereed by Lamolina 12 times and holds 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.

While statistics do not guarantee results, the history with Nicolás Lamolina appears to be a favorable sign for Unión, which will look to take advantage of that record to earn its first victory in the Clausura Tournament and once again make its home ground at the 15 de Abril stadium a fortress.
