Referee replaced for Copa Sudamericana final

Venezuelan referee Jesus Valenzuela, 37, will take charge of the Copa Sudamericana final between Argentinian sides Lanus and Defensa y Justicia. That is because Uruguayan Leodan Gonzalez has come back positive for COVID-19. 

Gonzalez, 38, had been appointed last Sunday for the encounter which will take place at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Cordoba, Argentina. 

The Uruguayan official is asymptomatic and will self-isolate in Uruguay, a CONMEBOL statement addressed to the Uruguayan and Venezuelan associations said.
