Despite their heated battle against the Yellow Canaries, the Eagles didn't forget about the players of Brazilian team Chapecoense Real, who lost their lives after their plane crashed in the mountains in Colombia while they were on their way to the finals of the Copa Sudamericana.

Beşiktaş paid tribute to the team before the match with their specially-designed warm-up jerseys with the emblem of Chapecoense on the back. Their T-shirts read: "In grief and agony... We always stand together."
