Chelsea and Palmeiras observed a period of silence in honour of Diogo Jota ahead of kick-off in Friday night's FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final in Philadelphia.
The game took place around 48 hours after Liverpool star Jota and his brother Andre Silva had died in a car crash in northern Spain.
Pedro Neto had been a team-mate of Jota at international level with Portugal and the pair were understood to have formed a close friendship over the years.
Neto held up a Chelsea shirt printed with the names of Diogo and Andre as both sets of players lined up around the centre circle ahead of Friday's game.
