Overview
- The jersey was released on October 18 attached to helium balloons during Boca’s tribute to Miguel Ángel Russo and surfaced about 24 days later in Cañada Nieto, Soriano, Uruguay.
- Rural producer Agustín Eugui found the shirt during routine field work, tangled with deflated balloons and blue‑and‑yellow confetti.
- Cavani contacted Eugui and coordinated the garment’s journey back to Buenos Aires for the Boca–Tigre fixture at La Bombonera.
- Following Boca’s 2–0 win over Tigre, the shirt was handed to Ignacio “Nacho” Russo, who called the moment a sign that his father is still with them and said it gave him goosebumps.
- The crowd ovation for Nacho framed an emotional handover that closed the story of a tribute item carried more than 100 kilometers across the Río de la Plata.
