Emiliano Sala: Caen and Nantes pay tribute to their former striker

Caen and Nantes paid tribute to former striker Emiliano Sala in their Ligue 1 match on Wednesday.

Sala's body was found in the wreckage of a plane crashed last week.

Players warmed up in T-shirts with the slogan "Play for Sala", while each Caen player's jersey was named after the attacker on the back.

A minute of applause took place at the 14th minute, the squad number from Sala to Caen. There was also a tribute video program and memorial match.

Nantes won 1-0 thanks to a penalty from Valentin Rongier, while it remained 10 minutes to play to reach 14th place in Ligue 1.

Sala spent the second half of the 2014-15 season on loan at Caen, scoring five goals in 13 appearances, before returning to the main club, Nantes.

The attacker left Nantes to join the new side of Cardiff City when his plane was missing on January 21 over the English Channel.

The body of the pilot of the plane, David Ibbotson, has not yet been found and a call for fundraising to fund an underwater search has seen more than £ 150,000 donated until the end. now.
