The world of soccer is built on camaraderie, shared memories, and respect between players.

This week, the community mourned the loss of a shining talent, one whose impact was felt both on and off the field.



The grief surrounding the passing of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva has reverberated across various leagues and teams, touching many hearts.



Among those deeply affected was Diogo Goncalves, a midfielder for Real Salt Lake.

Their bond went beyond the game – they were teammates on the Portuguese U-21 squad, and Jota’s passing hit Goncalves hard.

His response came on the field, where soccer’s powerful ability to honour and remember was displayed.

In a match against St?

Louis CITY SC, Real Salt Lake’s Diogo Goncalves found the back of the net in the 43rd minute, but what followed the goal was a tribute that moved many.

Goncalves, reflecting on their friendship, honoured Jota in a deeply personal way.

He dropped to the pitch, sitting cross-legged, mimicking the iconic video game celebration that Jota was known for.

The gesture spoke volumes, a powerful tribute to his late friend and fellow teammate.

Goncalves was not the only one to honour Jota that evening.

In Nashville, Hany Mukhtar and his teammates of Nashville SC marked the occasion by replicating Jota’s iconic goal celebration after a penalty secured a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Union.

Across the country, the San Jose Earthquakes held a moment of silence before their 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls, further highlighting the profound impact of Jota’s legacy.

For Goncalves, it was more than just a goal.

His actions spoke to the deep respect and friendship shared by the two, a reminder of how soccer connects individuals across borders, creating bonds that last beyond the game.

This tribute was not just about remembering a teammate – it was a way to keep Jota’s spirit alive on the field where he shone brightest.
