Portugal's women's team warmed up in shirts bearing the name of tragic striker Diogo Jota before their Euro 2025 match against Italy.
Jota, who died in a car accident last week, won 49 caps for the men's senior side and was part of the UEFA Nations League winning squad earlier in the summer.
UEFA announced there would be a moment of silence ahead of kick-off in all of Thursday's matches after the death of Jota and his brother Andre Silva.
Silva, the younger of the brothers, was on the books of Penafiel in his home country while Jota had just won the Premier League with Liverpool.
"It was a really tough day to play football, because this life is much more than a game, much more than football," forward Jessica Silva said after the match.
But this is a hard day for us."

Tributes poured in for Jota and Silva over the last few days, while a funeral service for the pair was held over the weekend in their home town of Gondomar.
They welcomed Kika Nazareth back into their starting XI for the match in Geneva as they chase a win which could help kick-start their campaign.
