🎥 Miguel Ángel Russo's son honours dad with goal in Argentina | OneFootball

Ignácio "Nacho" Russo lost his father last Wednesday (8).

But he made sure to fulfill a "wish" of Miguel Ángel Russo this Friday (10), by taking the field with his Tigre against Newell's Old Boys away from home.

And he managed to honor his father by making his mark in the 1-1 draw in the Clausura of the Argentine Championship.

The 24-year-old forward understood that Miguel would prefer him to play.

And that's what Nacho did a day after the funeral of the historic coach who was 69 years old.

Emotions ran high even before the ball started rolling during the minute of silence.

He opened the scoring at 22 minutes after a run and pass from Romero.

Collapsing on the field of the Marcelo Bielsa Stadium in a flood of tears.

'Everything heals with love'

The tattoo that Nacho Russo has on his chest and made sure to display came about because of the phrase that would be marked in Miguel Ángel Russo's journey.

In 2018, he was managing Millonarios, from Colombia, when he experienced the first moment of remission from prostate cancer.

"Grateful to the people, to Carlos Castro, who was my oncologist and worked together with the team from Buenos Aires. I am also grateful to Juan Ignacio Caicedo and Hugo Galindo Salón, because they were the ones who treated me here, in Bogotá. They did everything necessary for me to get to Buenos Aires and have the operation. To the oncology group at the El Country clinic, who gave me a lot of love. And everything heals with love, nothing more. So, to all of them, thank you very much," he said at the time.

Newell's equalized shortly after with Facundo Guch.

Tigre reached 17 points. They are in sixth place in Group A.

Meanwhile, the Leprosos reached 11 points. They occupy the 14th and penultimate position.

A product of Rosario Central, Nacho Russo also had stints at Chacaritas Jrs, Patronato, and Instituto before joining Tigre for this season.

He reached his tenth goal in 33 matches. And he also has four assists.
