The Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium was the scene of a day filled with nostalgia and gratitude. In what was his last match in charge of Estudiantes de La Plata, Eduardo Domínguez received an unforgettable ovation from fans who elevated him to the altar of the institution's great idols.

A Glorious and Tearful Farewell

Before the match against Sarmiento began, the "Barba" couldn't hold back his emotions. Surrounded by his players and with the trophies won during his tenure on display, the coach broke into tears at the "thank you Barba" chants coming from all four stands. His time at the club leaves an indelible mark with 5 titles in 3 years, establishing himself as one of the most successful coaches in Pincha's history.
