Tomorrow's VAR changed in Mar del Plata: he once nearly fought Madelón | OneFootball

This Friday, Unión de Santa Fe will visit Aldosivi for the sixth round of the Torneo Clausura. The Liga Profesional announced a change in the VAR for that match. In the end, Nahuel Viñas will be in charge instead of Luis Lobo Medina, as had initially been announced.

It is worth remembering that the match will be played on Friday starting at 2:30 p.m. at the José María Minella stadium, with Bruno Amiconi as referee and José Castelli and Carlos Viglietti as assistants.

A worrying fact: Nahuel Viñas was sidelined in the Primera Nacional after the CONTROVERSIAL refereeing in San Martín de Tucumán against Deportivo Madryn. He wrongly sent off a Ciruja player and had a terrible performance over the 90 minutes. Despite being sidelined in that division, he will be on VAR for the match between Aldosivi and Unión.

Unión’s poor 0-0 draw against Central Córdoba in Santa Fe in February 2020 had a serious incident near the end of the match. Stoppage time was already being played when the Tate coach, Leonardo Madelón, approached the fourth official, Nahuel Viñas, to complain that only four minutes had been added. The official reacted and got face to face with him, and the coach responded with a slight shove and by placing a hand on the back of Viñas’s neck. It looked like they were about to start throwing punches…

The fourth official informed the main referee, Pablo Echavarría, of what was happening, and he sent off Madelón. The coach had another serious outburst as he left the field: he shouted “your mother’s cunt” at Viñas.
