The Argentine Soccer Association appointed Fernando Espinoza as referee of the match between Arsenal and Independiente, for date 17 of the Professional Soccer League.
Red has a bad experience with this judge. He directed it 12 times: won 3, tied 3 and lost 6. The last time was in the victory precisely against those of the Viaducto by 1-0 in the Professional League 2022, with the goal of Nicolás Vallejo.
It should be remembered that Espinoza was in charge in the VAR in the victory with Tigre last weekendwhere there were several controversial plays such as the penalty taken from Sergio Barreto and the disallowed goal from Mauricio Cuero.
Espinoza will be accompanied by Jose Savorani and Julius Fernandez as linesmen, while Christian Cernadas will be the fourth referee. For his part, Mauro Vigliano will be in the VAR and Diego Bonfa in the AVAR.
To refresh your memory, Vigliano was the one who took that non-existent penalty in the 1-0 defeat against Racing for the 2021 Professional League. He has not directed Independiente since that meeting, where it was decided to send him to the 2021 Copa América as one of the Argentine judges.
