Brazil beat Colombia in Chapecoense memorial friendly that raised over $300,000 for the victims family

Brazil beat Colombia 1-0 in a friendly that raised
over £300,000 for the families of the Chapecoense
players and staff who were killed in a plane crash
in November.
The friendly at the Olympic Stadium in Rio De
Janeiro was decided by Dudu's early second-half
goal, but that was just a footnote as fans
remembered those who died in the disaster which
included 43 Chapecoense players and staff on their
way to the Copa Sudamericana final.
Tributes were paid to the three surviving players
-- goalkeeper Jackson Follmann, defender Neto
and winger Alan Ruschel -- before kickoff as they
were paraded on the pitch.
And more than 1.2 million Brazilian Real (£300,000)
was raised for the families of those that died.
A post on Brazil's official Twitter feed said: "The
most important result £JogodaAmizade: more than
R 1,200,000.00 for £FamiliaChapecoense.''
Chapecoense drew 2-2 against Brazilian
champions Palmeiras on Saturday in their first
match since the crash.
The club has rebuilt their squad with most of its 22
new players arriving on loan from other clubs.
