Who is Gonzalo Pereira, the referee for Talleres de Escalada v Colón? | OneFootball

Gonzalo Pereira will be the one to administer justice in the key duel for Colón, who will try to take the final step towards salvation against Talleres (RE).

The duel between Talleres de Remedios de Escalada and Colón, valid for matchday 31 of Group B of the Primera Nacional, will have an extra ingredient: the debut of Gonzalo Pereira as the referee for Sabalero.

Gonzalo Pereira, the first time with Colón

The match will be played this Sunday, from 15.30, at the Pablo Comelli stadium, with survival at stake for both teams.

The judge appointed by the AFA will be accompanied by Mariano Rossetti and Marcelo Errante as line judges, while Julio Barraza will serve as the fourth official. For Colón, it will be the first time with Pereira in charge, a detail that adds expectation in a context full of tension and needs.

As for his performance this season, Pereira has refereed 13 matches, with 65 yellow cards and three reds. Last year he officiated eight matches, in which he showed 44 yellows and sent off two footballers. So far in 2025, in the Primera B Metropolitana, he administered justice in 14 games, with 76 bookings and three expulsions.

Pereira's precedents with Talleres (RE)

On the other hand, Talleres already knows the ref. He directed them on four occasions: one win, two draws, and one loss. The first encounter was on July 2, 2022, when Tallarín beat Comunicaciones 3-2 at home. The most recent took place on June 7 of this year, with a 3-1 defeat against Mitre de Santiago del Estero, also in Escalada.

With these numbers and precedents, the Buenos Aires referee will be in charge of a duel that can mark a before and after for both Colón, who seeks to confirm its survival, and for Talleres, who is obliged to win to avoid losing the category.
