The fans raised a large banner bearing the image of the late player, who died in a horrific car accident in the Spanish province of Zamora last Thursday, at the age of 28, alongside his brother, André Silva.

The banner read in Arabic and Kurdish: "Jota... Death has taken your body, but you will remain immortal in our hearts."
