Neves, who carried Jota’s coffin at the funeral, gestured that God was watching the disgraceful fans as they appeared to make fun by repeatedly chanting “Jota“.
It seemed that the fans were attempting to taunt the midfielder after their side’s embarrassing loss.
Neves also addressed the issue after the game saying: “I just hope they don’t go to prayer later.”
Jota died in a car crash alongside his brother last July, just 11 days after marrying mother of his children Rute Cardoso.
