In the intense day this Thursday for the Copa Libertadores, the match between Racing and Nacional had a series of special seasonings, very typical of the unpredictable factors that surround the health crisis due to the pandemic.
Brazilian referee Anderson Daronco tested positive for coronavirus and was unable to direct the Racing-Nacional match, as were his assistants Fabricio Vilarinho, Rafael Alves and Bruno Arleu. Therefore, the fourth official, the Chilean Christian Garay -who was initially going to be the fourth judge in Defense and Justice vs. Delfín-, was as main referee in the Avellaneda Cylinder.
Likewise, among the replacements appeared the Argentine Mariana de Almeida, 36, who served as assistant judge. The premiere of De Almeida in the Libertadores marked a milestone, since it was the first time in history that a woman was a linesman in the highest continental event. As assistant number 2, she had to cover Nacional’s attack in the second half: near her position, the penalty charged by Baray was given, by a hand from Mauricio Martínez. Your dthat performance was considered “correct” by the specialists, despite the unexpected defeat of Racing by the minimum account.
