NOTE 1:  For first time ever up for auction a Cardozo jersey with known match and hard provenance. Jersey worn on pitch and swapped after the match by José Saturnino Cardozo  to Nelson Tapia in July 20th 1997 for World Cup qualifiers.  Cardozo came from bench in 46' and swapped with Tapia due their frienship being teammates in Universidad Católica in 1993, so friendship is kept until now. Night remembered for the 2 goals of Iván Zamorano for chile including an impressive header to beat the Paraguayan goalkeeper.and lead chile to the world cup after 16 years. Great chance to own a piece of history of one of the best paraguayan and soutamerican strikers from 90´s. Beautiful and sough after jersey with embroidered fabric sewn front and back number.
