Argentine soccer club San Lorenzo pay tributes to its fan Pope Francis during a national league home match.
The pontiff, who died last Monday at age 88, was buried in Rome before the game.
San Lorenzo players wore a patch on their shirts with an image of Jorge Mario Bergoglio smiling and wearing his papal robes, accompanied by the phrase “Together for Eternity.” Visiting side Rosario Central won 1-0 thanks to an injury time goal.
Before the match, children from an initiative promoted by Bergoglio paraded with San Lorenzo’s youth team at Nuevo Gasómetro Stadium.
The club’s blue and red colors were mixed in the stands with the yellow and white of the Vatican flag in the form of smoke, ribbons and flags, some of them featuring the pope’s face.
