Diaz who missed the clash due to the tragic kidnapping of his parents in Colombia, was undoubtedly on the minds of his teammates. Stepping into Diaz’s place, Diogo Jota opened the scoring after pouncing on a rebound from Darwin Nunez’s shot. Jota quickly rushed to the sidelines, holding up a Diaz shirt.
