Although the National Referees Commission (CONAR) has appointed Michael Espinoza lead the first match of the semifinal between Lima Alliance and Melgar there would be the possibility of a last minute change.
The "Domino", in a statement to CONAR, requested the replacement of the 31-year-old judge, declaring that he was disqualified by Conmebol because of his performance in the friendly match between the teams of Chile and Honduras (4-1 in favor of the southerners), disputed a week ago in Temuco.
The body responsible for appointing the arbitrators, through the director, Juan Francisco Gaviria, denied that his institution had received such information. "No statement comes from Conmebol concerning the referee Michael Espinoza," he told DirecTV Peru.

Despite this, CONAR convened a meeting tonight to assess the situation and will issue a statement on Thursday in which it will either support the arbitrator or accept the request for the Domino Directive.
Meanwhile, the teams Alianza Lima and Melgar continue their preparation. Both know that they can not give any advantage to their rival on Sunday. The minimal error can be very expensive.
