There is a phrase that states that "the boys (and the crazy) always tell the truth. And in such a case that this appointment is fulfilled, Darío Herrera would have been exposed in the previous of his arbitration during the match between San Lorenzo and Colón de Santa Fe that took place at the Pedro Bidegain stadium. It is that, the man in black had an unusual back and forth with a small supporter who was inside the playing field.
While the clock was ticking to start the match where the Cuervo tied at zero against Sabalero, a result that did not serve to further reduce the difference that River takes, the 38-year-old referee began the recognition of the field of play to supervise that the ground was in condition. Unlike the image we usually see of Herrera, a referee who is usually entangled in controversy, this time he appeared on ESPN cameras with a touching image. At first glance, it seemed that the referee had fulfilled the dream of a girl who would have asked him for a photo.

No one knew who the girl was. Not even the referee himself who, when asked by the journalist if the girl was his daughter, confessed that it was not so. "It's people who asked me for a photo," he clarified, and then doubled the bet: "Weird. Now everyone asks me for photos," Dario laughed.
Everything seemed to indicate a degree of fanaticism of the girl about the referee. But the girl, after being consulted by the journalist about this alleged fanaticism, denied the situation when asked if she liked Herrera. "And ... more or less," the girl said as she retreated to the Bidegain tunnel.
The worst, and the most contradictory part to Herrera's story, is that she said that it was not she who asked to take a picture with the referee: "He asked me," she quoted and left the referee offside. Later, Herrera sent "another of his" and returned to be the protagonist of a controversial situation for not sanctioning a penalty in favor of the local product of a hand of the Sabalero defender Rafael Delgado. A bigger penalty than he said in the pre-match.
