Nicolás Ramírez set to referee the Superclásico | OneFootball

The Boca vs. River match is almost completely set. The date, time, and venue are already known, and the only thing left is to find out who will be in charge of officiating. During the week, the Argentine Football Association will officially announce the referee for the match on Sunday, November 9, although internally it is already known who will be chosen.

Nicolás Ramírez will officiate his third consecutive Superclásico. The 38-year-old referee, one of the most reliable in the Professional League, is expected to lead the officiating team at the Alberto J. Armando. However, to be formally confirmed, he must pass a crucial test.

This Wednesday, Ramírez will be present at the final of the Copa Argentina between Argentinos Juniors and Independiente Rivadavia in Córdoba. If he achieves the goal of doing a good job, he will be confirmed for the Boca vs. River match over the weekend.

The only thing that could change the scenario would be a poor performance by the referee at the Estadio Monumental Presidente Perón. If he makes a serious mistake that makes him a protagonist of the final, AFA might consider other options like Facundo Tello or Yael Falcón Pérez.

How Ramírez has fared officiating Boca and River

He has officiated Boca 12 times and his record is slightly positive: 6 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses. In total, he has given 39 yellow cards to the team from La Ribera and expelled 2 players. Additionally, he awarded 1 penalty in favor and 1 against.

His numbers with the team currently managed by Marcelo Gallardo are different, although the record is balanced: 13 matches, 5 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses. In those games, he has issued 48 yellow cards and 3 red cards, with no penalties in favor and 2 against.
