The Reason Behind Kevin Rodriguez and Darwin Nunez’s Jersey Swap after Union Saint-Gilloise’s Triumph over Liverpool 

On Thursday, December 14th, Ecuadorian player Kevin Rodriguez and Uruguayan player Darwin Núñez exchanged jerseys following the match between Union Saint-Gilloise and Liverpool. The Europa League group stage fixture saw Union Saint-Gilloise emerge victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. However, despite the Belgian club’s win, they were unable to advance in the tournament, finishing in third place in Group E with eight points. Conversely, Liverpool secured the top spot in the group with 12 points.

Kevin Rodriguez, the Ecuadorian forward, entered the game in the 77th minute, replacing Swedish player Gustaf Nilsoon. Union Saint-Gilloise was already leading at that point, but Rodriguez was unable to add to the scoreline. After the match, at Lotto Park, Kevin Rodriguez and Darwin Núñez exchanged greetings and swapped jerseys in the locker room. The moment was captured in a video that circulated on social media.
