42 year old Carlos del Cerro Grande will take charge of the important group stage match in Belarus.
MOL Vidi FC will play their 5th group stage match on Thursday evening against BATE in Borisov. Vidi know that a win could be enough to secure going through the group. The match will kick off at 18:55 Hungarian time, and Spanish officials have been appointed.
Carlos del Cerro Grande is a well known match official in Spain. He has not refereed many matches in both the Champions League and the Europa League. He officiated the game on the 19th September between Ajax and AEK and the Sahtar-Manchester City tie a month later on the 23rd October. He has 4 EL games under his belt and all of those have come in the last two years. He was also in the middle for the Nations League game between Poland and Portugal.
At home he is an experienced referee with 143 LaLiga matches to date. He also blew the whistle in the 2016 Spanish Cup and 2018 Spanish Super Cup final. Earlier in February he was in charge of the Saudi game between Al-Batin and Al-Hilal.
Grande will be assisted by Juan Carlos Yuste Jiménez and Roberto Alonso Fernández. The fourth official on Thursday will be Raúl Cabañero Martínez. José María Sánchez Martínez and Santiago Jaime Latre will be behind the goals.
