Career
Aged 33, Tobar became a FIFA international referee in 2011.[1] In 2012, the Football Federation of Chile suspended Tobar for eight months as part of the "Poker Club" corruption scandal.[1][2][3] The scandal, led by Mario Sánchez Yantén, involved referees playing poker games, and the loser had to referee a regional football match.[2] After the suspension, Tobar returned to officiating, and was named Chile's best referee in 2013 and 2014.[2]
The first non-domestic match that Tobar officiated was a 2014 Copa Sudamericana match between Atlético Mineiro and Zamora.[4] In 2015, Tobar officiated at the South American U-17 Championship and FIFA U-17 World Cup.[1] In a 2016 Copa Libertadores match between The Strongest and São Paulo FC, Tobar was accused of promoting fighting.[5]
In 2017, Tobar officiated the second leg of the Recopa Sudamerica between Atlético Nacional and Chapecoense. He also officiated in at the South American U-17 Championship.[1] During a 2017 Copa Libertadores match between River Plate and C.D. Jorge Wilstermann, Tobar had to stop officiating due to a muscle injury.[6] In the same year, he officiated the Segunda División final between Deportes Vallenar and Deportes Melipilla. After the match went to a penalty shootout, Vallenar did not turn up for the shootout, and the matched was therefore awarded to Melipilla, who were promoted to Primera B as a result.[7]
In 2018, Tobar refereed a 2018 Chilean football derby match between Colo-Colo and Club Universidad de Chile, during which he sent off Jean Beausejour, Óscar Opazo,[5] and Lorenzo Reyes.[8] In the same year, Tobar officiated multiple matches of the Copa Libertadores. He officiated the second leg of the quarter-final between Grêmio and Atlético Tucumán,[9] as well as the first leg of the semi-final between Boca Juniors and Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras.[10] He later officiated the first leg of the final between Boca Juniors and River Plate. The match was Tobar's first Libertadores final.[1][2][3][6] An hour before the scheduled kickoff, Tobar had to postpone the match for a day due to a waterlogged pitch.[11] He was also selected to officiate the second leg of the 2018 Copa Sudamericana Finals between Junior and Athletico Paranaense.[12]
Aside from football, Tobar works as a judge.[4]
