A charter jet carrying the Chapecoense team to Colombia for the first leg of the two-match final crashed into a hillside near Medellín last Monday night. The plane reportedly ran out of fuel.
Nineteen players were killed, and the final was canceled. The soccer world at large reacted with heartbreak as tributes poured in from all corners of the globe.
Last Wednesday, when Chapecoense and Atletico Nacional were supposed to be facing off in the first match of their two-leg Copa Sudamericana final, Fox Sports Brazil instead aired 90 minutes of silence.
