Slovenian referee for Porto-Nice clash | OneFootball

UEFA announced this Tuesday that Thursday’s match between FC Porto and Nice, in the Europa League, will be refereed by Slovenian Matej Jug, while Sp. Braga’s trip to Rangers will be officiated by Dutchman Allard Lindhout.

Starting at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, the Slovenian referee – who has held UEFA badges since 2007 – will be assisted by compatriots Matej Zunic and Manuel Vidali; Rade Obrenovic will act as fourth official and VAR will be handled by Alen Borosak.

The Dragons have already been officiated by this 45-year-old civil engineer on two occasions, both at home: in the 2013/14 season, in the Europa League, against Eintracht Frankfurt (2-2), and in 2016/17, in the Champions League, against Copenhagen (1-1).

After four rounds of the Europa League group stage, FC Porto is in 14th place with seven points, while Sporting de Braga is in fifth, with nine; the Portuguese opponents are in the last two positions – Nice in 35th and Rangers in 36th – being the only teams still without points in the competition.
