Roldán’s history refereeing Boca

Referee Wilmar Roldán has already officiated the Xeneize in this edition of the Copa Libertadores. He was in charge of the match against Barcelona SC played at La Bombonera. That day, the team from La Ribera won 3-0 with goals from Lautaro Di Lollo, Santiago Ascacibar, and Ander Herrera.

In total, across all competitions, Wilmar Roldán has refereed the blue-and-gold side 18 times, leaving a positive record of 8 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses. The most striking fact is that the club has never lost at home when he has been the referee.

The only defeat under those circumstances came in the Libertadores final, played on neutral ground. Although the Xeneize were listed as the home team for organizational purposes, the match took place at Brazil’s Maracanã Stadium. This is a very notable detail, because the referee has a reputation for favoring the home side.
