<p>LONDON (AP) — A tribute to former Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva was disrupted on Sunday when some fans at the Community Shield match failed to observe a moment's silence.</p>
<p>Before the game between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at Wembley both teams and their staff stood silently to commemorate the brothers — who died in a car accident in Spain in July — but loud voices could be heard in the crowd, which prompted some boos.</p>
<p>Referee Chris Kavanagh then blew his whistle to signal the end of the tribute.</p>
<p>This was Liverpool's first major game since the death of Jota, who was 28.</p>
<p>The brothers died when the Lamborghini they were in veered off a road and burst into flames near the northwestern city of Zamora.</p>
<p>The Premier League champion has made a number of tributes to Jota following his death, including retiring his No. 20 jersey.</p>
<p>Liverpool supporters began to applaud Jota when Sunday's game reached the 20-minute mark and that applause quickly erupted into cheers as new signing Jeremie Frimpong scored to put the Merseyside club 2-1 ahead.</p>
<p>The Community Shield is seen at the traditional curtain-raiser for the top-flight season in England and is played between the defending league champion and the winner of the FA Cup.</p>
