Benfica 1991-92 player shirt by Hummel believed to have been match worn by Rui Costa in the European Cup Third Round Group B match aganst Dynamo Kiev played at Estádio da Luz on the 1st April 1992.
The 19 year old Rui Costa came off the bench in the 75th minute and showed his world class talent within minutes to play a gorgeous through ball that set up Sergei Yuran to make it 5-0 and put the icing on a superb night for Benfica.
Brito and Yuran both bagged a brace while Isaías got the other in a rampant and ruthless display from the Águias. The shirt was given to one of the Dutch match officials after the game as a gift. The result meant that the side would travel to the Nou Camp for the final group match still with a hope of making the Final. This was Rui Costa's debut season after joining the club from Fafe and the midfield wonderkid made 32 appearances scoring 4 goals in total. Unfortunately Sven-Göran Eriksson's men would lose out to Barca but Rui Costa would go on to lift the trophy in the future with AC Milan and build a reputation for himself as one of the greatest playmakers of his generation.
