The crowd broke into a thoughtful round of applause as Jan Verthongen stood over the ball whilst the victims' names were called out by the stadium announcer.
Earlier this week, a ceremony took place at which Italy retired their number 39 as a mark of respect.
It certainly puts things into perspective.
