Due to a severely mistimed tackle, Federico Viñas de América of Atlas spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game.
Now, everything seems to indicate that if there was a sanction, it would not be for the Eagles, but for the fourth referee, in charge of verifying that the people who were listed on the card appear on the bench or in the stands, and this is Edgar Ulises. Rangel.
Who is this referee?
Ulises Rangel is the son of the referee who bore his name, Édgar Ulises Rangel, who died in a car accident in 2002, when he was heading to the referees’ convention held in Acapulco, Guerrero.
He made his debut at the age of 27, in the 2019 Clausura, on the first day, in a game between Puebla and Cruz Azul, after two years in which he was in the former Ascension League.
In this 2021 Guardians, he acted in the seven days, but only one as central referee, – Date 1, Puebla vs. Guadalajara- and the other six as the fourth, so you could say that he is an expert in the protocols to be followed before and during the game.
In itself, most of his career was like a fourth whistle.
