Luis Lobo Medina has been appointed as the referee for the important match between Estudiantes and Argentinos on Sunday at 8:15 p.m. Noise occurred in UNO. Without a doubt, he is considered one of the most controversial referees in Argentine football. This is because decisions in some matches are closely monitored.
Pincha has a history of refereeing decisions, such as those at Barracas Central and Boca, which has caused great concern among the leadership, coaching staff and football players alike.
Furthermore, Lobo Medina is a referee who has few fleas and often interacts with players, which shows that he is well known. Last weekend, he attracted attention with his performance in the match between Aldosibi and Banfield at Florencio Sola. At the end of the match, the judges awarded a controversial penalty to Tiburon, but they ended up winning, giving them hope of saving the category on the final day.
The judge ultimately approved his decision, even though the actions discussed were reviewed by VAR. This caused the anger of all Banfield, especially coach Pedro Troglio, who finally crossed the referee. “This is my job. My heart is broken… here. They’re messing with me…, dude.”
Other than the fact that Estudiantes puts his guard up high, the stats of having Lobo Medina on the court are positive. The referee was present for a total of four games, but Pincha ended up with three wins and one draw.
The last precedent was the 32nd round of this year’s Argentine Cup, when Estudiantes defeated Sarmiento de la Banda 2-1 on February 25 at Unión de Santa Fe’s April 15 Stadium.
