Argentine referee Patricio Loustau will officiate the second leg match between Alianza Lima and Binacional for the final of Liga 1 Movistar. The international referee is scheduled to arrive in Lima in the coming hours.
Meanwhile, the appointment of Loustau did not go unnoticed on social media, and more than one person recalled that the Argentine referee did not leave a pleasant memory in the match between the Peruvian National Team and Uruguay for the qualifiers for Brazil 2014.
On September 6, 2013, Uruguay shattered Peru's World Cup dreams with a controversial refereeing performance by Patricio Loustau, who did not show a single yellow card to the Uruguayan player who injured Paolo Guerrero's eyebrow.
At the end of the match, a group of Peruvian players protested against Loustau. Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, a devastated Jefferson Farfan burst into tears after the elimination of the national team.
The 44-year-old referee has extensive international experience. He has officiated in the 2014 and 2018 World Cups. He has also been in charge of four matches between Boca Juniors and River Plate, the Argentine Superclásico.
