Julio Bascuñán is left without a Clásico: referee was removed from U. Católica vs. colo colo

Matchday 11 of the Chilean League generates great attraction for the fans, since the Classic will be played between U. Católica vs. Colo Colo. According to the schedule established by the National Professional Football Association (ANFP), referee Julio Bascuñán was going to deliver justice in this clash, but finally there was a last minute change.

Surprisingly, the entity that governs Chilean soccer announced that judge José Cabero will now lead the match, accompanied by Cristian Schliemann and Cindy Nahuelcoy, while Nicolás Gamboa will be the fourth man. In addition, the VAR will be led by Juan Lara and Claudio Ríos.

Let us remember that Julio Bascuñán was one of the 13 referees who were fired a few weeks ago by Javier Castrilli, president of the ANFP Referees Commission. At the moment, Roberto Tobar, who was also released from his post, remains assigned for the Unión Española vs. Cobresal, which will close the date.
