Patrik Schick made his debut after 67 minutes, but he couldn’t add to the scoring.
The Lupi’s Brazilian defender Juan Jesus spoke to Sky after the match, as his former teammate Josimar was killed in the crash.
“It’s a unique emotion, I lost a teammate in the tragedy and I’m very sorry,” the centre-back said.
“We didn’t want to play this friendly to remember such a terrible thing, but to help. They’re not doing well right now in the Brazilian league, but they’ll improve.
“Everyone in Brazil says they want to help Chapecoense, but it’s not like that, God knows what’s best for them.”
