Andrés Gariano to referee Unión v River clash in Copa Argentina | OneFootball

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) confirmed this Tuesday the referee for the round of 16 match of the Copa Argentina between River and Union on Thursday, August 28, at 9:15 pm at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium in Mendoza.

It will be Andrés Gariano, who will have as assistants Maximiliano Del Yesso and Facundo Rodríguez. Meanwhile, Matías Billone will serve as the fourth official.

It is worth remembering that in the Copa Argentina there is no VAR, so all decisions will fall exclusively on the refereeing team on the field. This particularity adds tension and unpredictability to a match that will be a direct elimination and promises emotions.

The match will be played with fans from both sides and will be broadcast by LT10 AM 1020 and FM "X" 103.5.

Gariano refereed Tate seven times, with a balance of two victories, one draw, and four losses. The most recent precedent is from March 11, 2025, in the away defeat against Independiente Rivadavia by 2-0.
